HELP University College (HUC) is one of the leading private university colleges in Malaysia, and is located in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was founded by its President, Dr Paul Chan Tuck Hoong, and CEO, Mrs Chan-Low Kam Yoke along with some of their academic friends.
First established as HELP Institute in 1986, it was the first educational institution to provide tuition support for the University of London External Programme outside of the United Kingdom.
HELP University College is the pioneer of twinning programmes in Malaysia, in which students may complete one or two years of an Australian or British degree in Malaysia, and later transfer overseas to complete their degree.
HELP first offered twinning programmes with the University of Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom, and the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. It currently offers twinning programmes from the University of East London, United Kingdom, and Charles Sturt University, Australia.
HELP Institute was conferred University College status in 2004 by the Malaysian government, a tacit recognition of HELP's achievements, and high academic standards. The conferment of University College status allows HELP University College to award its own degrees.
On 8 January 2008, HELP University College was awarded the Brand Laureatte-SME's Chapter Awards 2007 in Asia Pacific for Best Brands in Education Tertiary. The award was given by the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation.
HELP University College is a subsidiary of HELP International Corporation Berhad (HELP:7236), a public listed company on Bursa Malaysia.
