It also collaborates with the University of London to offer internationally recognized degrees in Accounting & Finance, Economics, and Banking & Finance. To support students’ academic success, HELP has an Intensive English Programme (IEP), which consists of six levels, from Beginner to Advanced, focusing on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. The IEP also prepares students for the IELTS exam, ensuring they meet the required English proficiency for academic and professional success.

HELP University has a straightforward admission process for both Malaysian and international students. Undergraduate applicants typically need a minimum CGPA of 2.0/4.0, while postgraduate applicants require a Bachelor’s degree with a CGPA of 2.5/4.0, though those with lower GPAs may be considered if they have relevant work experience. International students must submit academic qualifications, passport copies, and proof of English proficiency—with IELTS scores of 5.5 for foundation programs and 6.0 for bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Those without the required proficiency can take the HELP English Placement Test upon arrival.
