FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION STUDIESHELP MATRICULATION CENTRE

FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTUREIn current times, there is a pressing need for positive social change. This depends on the right type of education. The underlying fact is that the paradigm of traditional education is ineffective to a certain extent because it is based on an intrinsic mistrust of the human personality. What is needed is a holistic education that respects students’ needs for their development as complete, rational and moral human beings.

The premise of the HELP Matriculation Centre (HMC) Foundation in Arts and Foundation in Science programmes is to provide conditions for students to free their minds in order to cultivate a meaningful human intelligence or “creative intelligence”. The programmes further pay tribute to students by helping them recognise the psychological value of their learning experiences to help build self-confidence, self-respect, creative intelligence and moral courage.

An added flexibility of the foundation programmes is that students have a choice of pursuing degree studies in business, economics, psychology, mass communication and humanities with the Foundation in Arts programme; or engineering, medicine, pharmacy and other science disciplines with the Foundation in Science programme. The setting up of the Centre for Personal Development and Leadership will further bolster our aim of creating principled and creative graduates.

At the HELP Matriculation Centre, there is provision to integrate learning with life, which allows for the development of the human potential and provides an avenue for self-empowerment.

HELP University's Foundation in Science has been an eye-

opening experience as it provides a holistic education, very different from the education system I've been used to. With a balance in knowledge and application, it fueled my curiousity in learning which was an important stepping stone to my further tertiary studies in Psychology. The focus on academic assessment and learning applications (ie leadership camp, term assignments) helped build my capability in absorbing learning from different perspectives."By Evelyn Teh Jae ViennAssistant Manager (Projects) Price Water House CoopersUniversity of Sheffield Masters in Occupational PsychologyHELP Bachelor of Psychology with First Class HonoursHELP Foundation in Science (2006)

SIGNATURE PROGRAMME

24

HMC Leadership ProgrammeOne of HMC’s strong beliefs is that developing character is just as important as providing an all-rounded and holistic education. True to that belief, HELP Matriculation Center’s programme has introduced a leadership camp to nurture the students’ character.

At the camp, students are motivated to uplift their sense of self-worth as well as encourage them to acquire important qualities such as self-ownership, effective communication, leadership, teamwork as well as planning and flexibility for future endeavors.

HMC Community ServiceApart from striving for academic excellence, students completing their foundation studies at HMC are required to contribute to the society by completing a minimum of 10 hours of community service. By engaging in the volunteer work, they have an opportunity to learn experientially.

Not only does this experience allows students to make more informed choices about college and future career options, but also instills in them a lifelong interest to help others in need.

Spiritual wisdom teaches us that contributing to the greater good results in a more positive outlook towards life. Therefore, we believe the exposure provides students the motivation of having a greater purpose in life.
