Academic Pathway

The 2+2 partnership program offered by HELP University was a golden opportunity for me to experience the best of both worlds (Malaysia and Australia) while pursuing my interest in the cutting-edge field of computing. The partnership between HELP University and the Australian National University (ANU) has been helpful in administrating the credit transfer and admissions process. There was some flexibility in the course study plan, especially after credit transfer

The Bachelor of IT programme offered by HELP University provided a solid foundation for my technical and soft skills required to solve various challenges presented by real-life business cases within today's IT industry. The various subjects taught by experienced tutors were helpful in shaping my interests in order to become an IT professional and to understand the importance of IT as an important industry in the job market. Overall, the programme was fantastic and turned out to be an invaluable part of my academic years

During my Bachelor’s Degree, I got to experience using the Software Development Life Cycle when working on my assignments and that helped give me a feel of how real life projects are taken place in the industry. Aside from that, I was given the opportunity to explore emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Data Analytics, Blockchain etc. through the various talks and workshops organized by the Faculty of Computing and Digital Technology.
