HELP University, formerly known as HELP Institute and later HELP University College, is a well‑established private university located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Founded on April 1, 1986, by its Chancellor Datuk Dr. Paul Chan Tuck Hoong and his wife Datin Chan‑Low Kam Yoke, the institution has earned both national and international recognition for its dedication to quality education.
Acknowledged by the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia, HELP Institute was elevated to University College status in 2004, and subsequently achieved full university status in 2011.
The acronym “HELP” represents the Higher Education Learning Philosophy.
In its early years, HELP Institute gained distinction as the first institution outside the United Kingdom to offer the University of London External Programme’s Diploma in Economics.
Over the decades, HELP University became a pioneer in twinning programmes, enabling students to complete part of their studies locally and later transfer to partner institutions overseas to complete their degrees.
Today, HELP University maintains an extensive global partnership network that includes universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and various European countries, providing its students with wide‑ranging opportunities for international academic exposure and growth.
