A business powerhouse for achievers
EVERY year, the Faculty of Business, Economics and Accounting at HELP University produces numerous outstanding graduates and students who obtain top scholarships from prestigious foreign universities.
This year proved to be exceptional when seven business students were awarded the University of Queensland (UQ) scholarship for the February intake – a new record compared to last year’s three students.
The seven scholarship holders were Tong Boey, Yap Kung Jien, Chan Tze Hen, Mohammad Idri Abdul Rahim, Nasif Arefin, Lee Jong Min and Ok Juyeon. The last three were foreign students from Bangladesh and South Korea respectively. The scholarship allows them to receive up to a 100% tuition fee waiver for their final year of studies in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, UQ.
The success of the seven UQ scholarship holders is a testament to the high quality and standards of the faculty.
HELP continues its long tradition of producing outstanding students and serves as a gateway to top Australian universities such as UQ, University of Melbourne, Australian National University, University of New South Wales, University of Western Australia, Macquarie University and many more.
In 2017, out of 80 business students who went to UQ, seven were awarded scholarships. HELP University was the only university in the world to have a 2+1 articulation programme with UQ, a member of the Group of 8 Universities (Go8) in Australia, a coalition of leading universities in Australia.
The faculty also has strong connections with various industry partners and leading organisations such as General Electric, Affin-Hwang Asset Management Bhd, KPMG, PWC, EY, Deloitte and BDO Binder.
Recently, five business students won the 2017 Affin-Hwang Asset Management Bursary Award. Khoo Shun Xuan, Yeo Han Yee, Loke Mun Hon, Wong Tsok Linn and Lee Pei Ern each received a bursary of RM10,000 and a two-month paid internship at Affin-Hwang Asset Management and upon completion of the internship, the opportunity of being employed.
“Affin-Hwang Asset Management has been very supportive and generous towards HELP University over the last 10 years and receiving this award further recognises our students’ outstanding performance not only academically but also emphasises the importance of co-curricular activities,” said the Faculty’s Department of Business Studies head, Liew Huey Min.
HELP University is renowned for its business, accounting and financial programmes. Its graduates are well received by various industries and many are head hunted by multinational companies within six months of graduation. The Faculty of Business, Economics, and Accounting at HELP is one of the largest business schools in the country.
