HELP University 精英大学 (Malay: Universiti HELP; formerly known as HELP University College) is a private university in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was founded in 1986 by its President, Paul Chan Tuck Hoong, and CEO Chan-Low Kam Yoke.
HELP University is a member of the HELP Group.
HELP first offered twinning programmes with the University of Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom, and the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. It has partnerships with universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and in Europe.

The academic faculties at HELP University are:
The faculty houses the [Department of Psychology], CareerSense@HELP, and the Centre for Psychological Counselling Services (CPCS) which offers services to students, staff and members of the public.
The Faculty of Behavioural Sciences is the largest in Southeast Asia for a private educational institution. HELP University was the first private educational institution to offer a degree in Psychology in Malaysia. Its origins were in the mid-1990s when the university college realised that students needed counselling and psychological services, and employed counsellors so that students may approach them for help. From then onwards, psychology at HELP University grew with more services offered to students and staff, and culminated in the establishment of programmes and degrees, and a faculty that specialises in Psychology and Behavioural Sciences.
The Faculty of Behavioural Sciences is involved with World Vision Malaysia, and UNICEF in many projects, notably the World Vision 30 Hour Famine, and other research projects.
