HELP University

HELP University's main campus is in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur — about 10–15 minutes from the city centre — with a second, award-winning campus in Subang/Shah Alam, Selangor (opened in 2016). Both sit in Malaysia's Klang Valley, so you're close to the city, transport and student amenities.

Tuition varies by level and program (public sources cite a bachelor's average around RM 20,000+ per year), and official fees change each intake, plus the 6% service tax for international students. Rather than guess, we confirm the exact current figure for your chosen course for free — your YSTC consultation covers tuition and living costs alike.

Yes. HELP is MQA accredited and recognised by Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education, holds full university status (since 2011) and a QS 5-Star rating, and its psychology offering includes an APAC-accredited joint honours degree with Flinders University, Australia. It also runs twinning partnerships with the University of London, University of Hertfordshire and Queensland University of Technology. YSTC will confirm recognition for your specific country and goals.

HELP is best known for psychology — it runs Malaysia's largest psychology school (possibly the largest in ASEAN), was the first private university in Malaysia to offer the subject, and offers an APAC-accredited joint honours degree with Flinders University. It's also a pioneer of twinning programmes in Malaysia and strong in business, law and entrepreneurship.

HELP typically has multiple intakes a year, and the exact dates depend on your program. YSTC will confirm the next available intake and the application deadlines for your chosen course.

Yes — and getting started is completely free. We'll help you choose the right course, prepare and submit your application and documents, confirm the current fees, and manage your Malaysian Student Pass (visa) via EMGS from start to finish.

HELP offers scholarships and tuition awards (publicly cited up to 50% for a high CGPA, and up to 100% first-year for some achiever awards), and availability and eligibility change each intake. The best move is a free YSTC consultation, where we'll check which scholarships you may qualify for and help you apply at no cost.

Most programs ask for around IELTS 6.0, TOEFL, or an accepted equivalent, though the exact band varies by course. If you don't yet meet the requirement, an English-language pathway can help you progress. YSTC will confirm exactly what your chosen course needs.

Yes — HELP's programmes are taught in English, so international students can study without learning Malay first. This also means your qualification is globally portable.

There are accommodation options around both the Damansara Heights and Subang/Shah Alam campuses in the Klang Valley, and costs depend on the room type and how you like to live. YSTC will walk you through the current options and a realistic monthly budget for your intake.

Living costs in Kuala Lumpur and the wider Klang Valley are moderate and generally far lower than in the UK, US or Australia — covering accommodation, food and transport. Your exact budget depends on your lifestyle and housing choice, so YSTC will give you a personalised monthly estimate alongside your tuition figures, free of charge.

International students in Malaysia may be allowed to work part-time during semester breaks and holidays under specific conditions set by Immigration, usually with university approval. The rules can change, so we'll explain the current, accurate position for your situation during your free consultation rather than rely on outdated info.

HELP has a long heritage as a pioneer of twinning programmes in Malaysia, around 25% international students from regions across the world, a QS 5-Star rating, and a dedicated International Student Services Department to support you. YSTC can share current student-support details and connect your questions to real student experiences.
