The experience of studying psychology at HELP has been extremely exciting.

From world class lecturers who challenge us to think, to the extra-curricular activities and the diverse student body, every day in the department is different. I have gotten to learn unexpected things and skills in class from the staff of the department and

course mates in a truly dynamic setting.millie ong

I chose psychol-

ogy at HELP because it is both the largest and most established

Psychology program in the

country. In addition, the program itself has a holistic perspective enabling me to develop both as a student and as a person. Some highlights are the engaging lecturers and the multitude of activities catering to every personality and taste. Evelyn Teh Jae ViennBPsych (hElP).

Psychology at the core is meant to be a helping

profession, and at HELP, you get

the sense that everyone walks the talk. The lecturers maintain an open-door policy, they always have time for a friendly chat with students. It has just the right blend of stone-cold erudition and the warm human touch. My experience here has made me a more wholesome person, and helped me realize that at the end of the day, this wealth of knowledge I have gained will be utilised to help people - thats what matters most in the world.

Psychology has moulded my character and impacted my relationships immensely. It really isnt

just the academic experience and knowledgeable lecturers that make it all worthwhile, but the real-life exposure that I have gained through internships, research projects, and student activities makes it a learning experience like no other!
