History

[edit | edit source]

The HELP Education Group was founded on 1 April, 1986, by husband-and-wife Datuk Dr. Paul Chan Tuck Hoong and Datin Chan-Low Kam Yoke with a budget of RM 25,000. Originally, the campus was based in a shop lot in Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur. At time, the library was in a garage, and the campus only had 8 teachers and 30 students, offering University of London external degree programs.[1] In 1989, the HELP Instite relocated to a new Jalan Ipoh campus. In 1991, the institute relocated to a newer and larger campus located in Pusat Bandar Damansara, which received significant expansion overtime.[2]

In 2004, HELP Institute was granted university college status by the Ministry of Higher Education (Malaysia), prompting its rebranding as HELP University College. In 2005, the HELP Academy was established aimed at offering programs from partner universities, and HELP International Corporation Bernard was publicly listed on Bursa Malaysia by 2007. In 2011, it was awarded full university status and renamed HELP University.[3] On 24 November 2022, HELP University established Malaysia's first Centre for Neuropsychology to support teaching, research, and clinical services in the field.[4][5]

HELP University is a member of the HELP Education Group. This consists of HELP University, HELP Academy, HELP International School, Crescendo-HELP International School, and Tunku Putra-HELP International School.
