With a cutting edge curriculum

-

Thus, with a cutting edge curriculum, it is no wonder that HELP Psychology graduates, both local and internatio­nal, work in top consulting firms, including Accenture, Hewitt, McKinsey, Hay Group and Leaderonom­ics.

Justin Hiew Jian Han who joined a top consulting group as senior consultant, graduated from the HELP BPsych programme in 2014.

Not only did Justin win the Top Consultant award for Malaysia in 2015 but was crowned Consultant of the Year across APAC in 2015.

Esther Goh, another successful HELP psychology graduate today works as business strategy manager in another top corporate company and had this to say of her experience studying in HELP.

“Memorable would be the best word to describe the years I had as a HELP Psychology student. I learnt not just classroom theories of what Psychology is and isn’t, but was empowered by forward thinking lecturers who encouraged us to go above and beyond in our critical thinking and research capabiliti­es,” said Esther.

HELP University’s Faculty of Behavioura­l Sciences is also staffed by many promising and talented psychology students who have gone on to complete their PhDs but never forgetting their Alma Mater, HELP University (HU).

Among those who chose to come back and serve are Dr Ng Siew Li and Dr Eugene Tee Yu Jin, who today lecture HELP undergradu­ates and postgradua­tes in various fields of psychology.

Today Dr Ng serves as lecturer at the Faculty of Behavioura­l Sciences, HU located in Subang 2 and currently lectures and supervises students in the Master of Clinical Psychology programme.

A graduate of HELP University’s Bachelor of Psychology (Hons) programme with First Class Honours, Dr Ng went on to receive a Fulbright Scholarshi­p to study her PhD in Clinical Psychology in Central Michigan University, United States of America.

Upon completion of her PhD, Dr Ng chose to return to HELP to contribute to the training of new generation­s of clinical psychologi­sts to fulfil the pressing need for trained mental health profession­als in the country.

Dr Eugene Tee, senior lecturer in the Faculty of Behavioura­l Sciences, HU, completed his PhD in Management at UQ in 2011. Dr Tee completed an undergradu­ate degree in Business at HELP in 2002 and then went on to complete his Bachelor of Business (Management) with First Class Honours at the University of Queensland in 2006.

His supervisor encouraged him to consider a PhD in Management, which he completed.

His career path begun at HELP in 2011 and he has been teaching for over 7 years.

A highly accomplish­ed academic, he has published in top-ranking journals such as Leadership Quarterly, and presents his research regularly at regional and internatio­nal conference­s.

He has also recently published a book on the science of emotions, along with another prolific HELP academic, Dr Choy Tsee Leng, a PhD from McMaster University, Canada, who also heads the department’s EEG lab.
