Tip of the day: Your study plan

There are 3 semesters in 1 academical year at HELP.

Out of these 3, you have 2 long semesters (14-15 weeks) and 1 short semester (7-8 weeks).
Under the long semester, you can take up to maximum of 4 subjects.
Under the short semester, you can only take up to 2 subjects.

Year 1 (depending on availability, any combination is fine), here are the list of Year 1 subjects that you can take:
  1. Financial Accounting 1 (ACC 101)
  2. Principles of Microeconomics (ECO 101)
  3. Business Law (LAW101)
  4. Principles of Management (MGT 101)
  5. Principles of Marketing (MKT 101)
  6. Business Statistics (QBM 101)
  7. Introduction to Social Psychology & Health Psychology (BPSY 104)
  8. Introduction to Human Cognition, Learning & Consciousness (BPSY 103)
  9. Introduction to Human Development, Personality & Abnormal Psychology (BPSY 102)
  10. Social & Business Communication (MCC 100)
  11. Leadership & Life Skills (LLS 101)
Year 2 & 3 (arranged from mildly difficult to very difficult)
  1. Managing Human Resources (HRM 210) 
  2. Consumer Behavior (MKT 201) [If you're under Ms Sumathi, you will be required to sell stuff to achieve funds of RM1500 (short sem) or RM3000 (long sem)]
  3. Conflict Theory & Resolution (BPSY 210)
  4. Cross Cultural Psychology (BPSY 310)
  5. Human Personality (BPSY 207)
  6. Psychology & Law (LAW 309)
  7. Cognitive Psychology (BPSY 304)[caution: need know how on Lab Report Writing]
  8. Introduction to Economic Psychology (BPSY 314)
  9. Introduction to Industrial Psychology (BPSY 330) [caution: need know how on SPSS]
  10. Introduction to Organizational Psychology (BPSY 331) [caution: need know how on SPSS]
  11. Change Management (MGT302) [a subject that requires a lot of reading especially under Mr Ravi]
  12. Assessment & Profiling (BPSY 311) [need to have a very strong knowledge on statistics, SPSS and analytical procedures; a very dry & technical subject]
+ your 2 electives of choice
  • choose your electives well and make sure that they are worth 4 credit hours each.
  • a good investment would be QBM201 (if you do not have a good stats or SPSS know how)
  • choose a subject relevant to what you want to do in the future. It might be able to score you points with a prospecting employer.
  • choose a subject that you can easily score in only if you're really desperate to boost your CGPA
Whatever you do, please take these two last:
  1. Business Research (MGT 203) [This would require you to do a mini thesis within 1 semester. It's highly stressful as you will need to juggle time to interview your respondents and focus on your studies. Please learn up SPSS or take advanced statistics before you enrol for this subject]
  2. Graduation Project (MGT 400) [You will need 2 semesters to complete this, it's a good idea to keep it as free as possible]

---
+ your 2 LAN subjects (if you are a 100% new comer at HELP)

Good luck! :)
