4 Paw Lih Lin (above), BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance The HELP Foundation was a wonderful programme, so after that I decided to continue studying at HELP for a UK degree. The free study trip was a fantastic chance to visit the real campus in Derby, UK. It is real value for money. Time has gone by so fast, it was great to meet good lecturers and make amazing friends. At the same time, I learnt so much and I improved my skills from doing challenging assignments that made me a good researcher, taught me good time management, and the ability to adapt."

Chan Pui Mun (far left), BA (Hons) Accounting and Financ The course is affordable and the subjects were exactly what I wanted to study to get a strong foundation for a career as an Accountant. The lecturers were helpful and friendly and gave me great advice and guidance throughout the course. But the free study trip to the UK was the main reason I chose this course. We spent a memorable week on the University of Derby campus with its amazing facilities and equipment. Visits to the Derby Cathedral and the Derby Silk Mill made me a more knowledgeable person. I studied hard but I played hard too, so I look back at life in the Derby programme at HELP with happy memories."
