I'm here to seek help from any Psychology degree seniors from IMU or HELP. I would like to know should I take Human Resource Management as a minor when I'm doing my Psychology degree. If I take a minor, I will not be able to take 4 years joint degree which offer by Flinders and HELP.

Does it make any difference if the degree is accredited by Australia university? Since I think I will not go to Australia, so I think it's not suitable for me. Is the degree which is accredited by Australia better than normal psychology degree? Which one is better? A degree accredited by Australia or a degree with a HR minor.

Btw, IMU or HELP's psychology program is better. I know that everyone says that Help is better but what is its stand out points? Should I consider HELP or IMU since the prices are almost the same if I include transport to HELP. IMU is nearer to my house, on the other hand. Any seniors from IMU and HELP, I would like to know their program structures.

Thank you

If you received the offer letter form HELP, I think they will specify the place and time to gather. Normally is at the main block, lower foyer.

For the book, it is better to buy it when you are studying at HELP cuz it will be cheaper. However, you can buy from the book provider as well (though he said it ill be more expensive if you are not buying it at HELP). You will definitely need

Ciccarelli's and White's textbook >> Psychology (3rd ed) (Not sure whether there is a 4th ed....) which costs RM 100. However, I do not guarantee that they will not change the textbook but most probably, they wouldn't change it.

If you want the email of the book provider, do PM me And the bookstore is EMO bookstore.... emo emo lolxd

Good luck^^

Hope you understand it... Cuz I it's in an excel file>< So, I just copy and paste ><

Welcome Yup! I just finished my Year 1. It's really exciting! You do not learn only abnormal psychology but you get to learn many psychological theories, psychological development etc.

Feel free to ask me questions. Hope to see you at HELP^^

There are psychology graduates from HELP who managed to get into UK. I think it will all depends on your CGPA.

If you would like to pursue your studies at Australia, you will need to take the 4-year program offered by HELP partnering with Flinders Unioversity. It is a 4 + 0 program. For your information, Australia will hardly accept 3 years honour degree from Malaysia.

If you want to pursue your studies in US, I would suggest to you take ADTP.

I am not sure about Sunway's Psychology course but HELP's one is quite good so far (I've just finished my first year). You might want to post at Sunway University thread to find out more. If you want to consider more options, IMU is offering Psychology as well

All the best ^^

Welcome to HELP! Which course are you in? ^^

Welcome welcome ^^

Lower foyer is at HELP main block. Just enter HELP main block from the main entrance and there you are, lower foyer you are standing on

All psychology classes are at Wisma HELP or KPD. Ya mainblock is for Foundation and some other courses like design.

It depends on your timetable but if you are not taking MQA (Moral studies etc), you will most probably be free on Friday

Welcome guys All the best and enjoy your course ^^

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 ^^

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

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.

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 ^^

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^^

Hope to meet you guys soon Take a look at all the booths set up tomorrow ^^

OMG.... CGPA but not HGPA will be written on resume?

So, does it mean you can get 1st class honour with high HGPA and yet a low CGPA? Is CGPA accumulative? Or it is counted for every year?

Thank you
