wear casual can edi

orientation is just walking around the department, introduce this and that yada yada

Casual wear will do You will get all the information during orientation (including info about MQA). No need to prepare anything hahaXD but do gear up your English (especially essay writing) :Wink:

You are allowed to bring in anything lolxd unless your lecturer doesn't allow it. Ya, my frens do view their notes using tablet and notebook... but it might give a bad impression to the lecturers cuz he/ she cant really know what are you doing with your tablet.

Btw, don't worry too much All the best^^

Welcome ^^

by the way i wanna ask about minor subjs at Help...

is it hard to tackle with the main?

im considering taking Entrepreneur as the minor...

what's your major?

Psychology with a minor in Entrepreneurship? You will have to do 11 subjects (including 3 free electives) for Psychology in the first year.

To complete a minor in Entrepreneurship, you will need to do 7 selected electives, 2 in first year, 4 in second year and the last subject in third year.

If you have the Psychology brochure with you, you will notice that there are Free electives under your module. Your electives for your minor will replace the general elective.

If you are doing a minor in Business related subject [eg. Entrepreneurship, you will most probably lose your 1 month plus holiday after your third semester unless you completed the 2 electives before your third semester (which will be a short semester)]

If you haven't completed your MQA subjects during Foundation, you will need to do it at HELP. So, you will probably need to take 2 MQA + 2 elective for minor and 8 Psychology subjects, which gives you a total of 12 subjects.

If you have completed your MQA, you will only need to take 10 first year subjects (I'm not so sure about this, I suggest you to approach the staff for better clarification).

From my experience of taking first year Business subjects, Business subjects are easier to score compare to Psychology subjects. But I'm not sure about second and third year one.

First year Psychology subjects are still ok but I heard from my senior that second and third year is the real game. Most students extend their 3 semesters into 4 (for 2nd and 3rd year) and if you are taking minor, you will be extending your semesters as well (since you need to take extra subjects for minor).

Hope it helps

I have some questions regarding the UOL BSc Banking & Finance program in HELP.

In the Credit Transfer section, there's a list of universities there. Does it mean that you can transfer to any one of the universities listed there and still get the UOL certificate?

Thanks is advance.

Can i know that if i study Law in Help, can i practice in Malaysia with the absent of STPM and A level certificate? Interested in Law once i finish my business degree

thank you for taking time to explain this to me

Welcome So are you planning to take?

At first I planned to take minor in Finance but then I found that I wouldn't be able to handle stresses of not having holiday for 3 years, so I gave up the minor.

Side note: For 2nd and 3rd year, Business department has different academic calendar (when Business holiday starts, Psychology new semester starts and during semester break for Psychology, Business department will be still be having classes), so most probably there will be no holiday if a minor is taken

Sorry for giving so many discouraging thoughts. Hope you can make the right decision.

about the holidays i dont really mind...im afraid i couldn't tackle the subjs and ended not doing well on exam...

and about the essay writing can give me more detail...

Hi, i am taking psychology too but i was thinking of taking a minor in either human resource management or public relations. Would it be too difficult for me to handle either one of that together with psychology as my major? And is there a difference between human resource and public relations and which is usually taken by students? Thanks a lot in advance.

Haha I also thougt I wouldn't bother about the holiday at first but I was wrong...... It just scared me out when I see that I won't have any break for 3 years.

Erm, if you really put in great effort, you can handle both your major and minor. I know a excellent senior who did good in both major and minor. So, I bet you can handle it if you believe that you can!

Just a side note again, you do know you won't be taking as much psychology subjects as your friend who don't take minor right? Since you will be taking minor subjects for your free electives and yet your friends can take all Psychology subjects for their free electives. However, some actually find that taking subjects from other departments are better

It really depends on you. If you can handle it during first semester, you might be able to handle it in your 2nd and 3rd year. If you could not handle your minor even during first year, it would be really difficult during 2nd and 3rd year. Many do mentioned Psychology is not easy (You might hear it from Dr Goh before if you attended his talk), so it really depends. You put enough hard work, then you would be able to handle ^^ For my case, I'm concerned about holiday, so I gave up the thought of having minor. As I mentioned, if you take minor from Business department (eg HR), you might not have any holiday for 3 years.

For PR, it is offered by Communication department which I believe it has the same academic calendar as Psychology department, which means you might be having holiday^^ However, to complete a minor in PR, you might need to take 10 subjects which add on a few extra subjects for you (I'm not sure for this, please seek clarification from the staff).

I'm not sure HR or PR is better though.

All the best and hope to see you guys soon ^^

Thanks a lot!!!!

Yes, Psychology in 2nd and 3rd year are the ones that's the real game. You have to learn how to apply, read other materials, not only your text books. That's how others score. By just sticking to your texts, you'd only get B. That's why it's better to study extra harder for your first year to maintain your CGPA high because you can score easier in first year. In case of any Cs in the following years, you'd still have your 1st year CGPA to average it out.

On the bright side, there is lesser burden of exams coming altogether. =)

However, the honour one is graduating with does not depend on CGPA but HGPA. HGPA does not include first year subjects. HGPA only include certain amount of Psychology subjects from second and third year plus third year thesis 1 and thesis 2.

Have you graduated?

Btw, thank you for the tips

Ya, true^^

wow, nice...
so whr r u staying??
there are CIMB n Maybank...
mainblock- maybank HSBC, RHB


i completed my second year and i can assure you that 2nd year is totally different than 1st year....
you need to spend a lot of time to get A in Psychology program!!!
what i can tell you is that do not be surprised if you get C or C+ for your exam...XD

to answer the question of minor...
can say it is the best to minor in HR and easier to get a job as it is related to psychology as well....
mostly when u r working in HR department, you will b either doing payment, interview, evaluation etc...
if u r taking minor u need to extend at least 1-2 semesters because a subject in year 2 need a pre-requisite of another year 2 subject which is HRM 201 n HRM 202...u need to take 201 in order to take 202....
unless u r a super genius then u can take more than 5 subjects in a long sem or 4 subjects in short sem...
bt i can tell you that maximum of 4 subjects in year 2 long sem and 2-3 subjects in short sem can kill u...haha

there's CIMB in KPD? great management told me only Maybank...

I'm staying at Batai Hostel...

yeah, CIMB juz shifted near to KPD....
behind UOA....
anyway, enjoy ur day 2mr...

I will...hehe...
