GEORGETOWN: Han Chiang College (HCC) is proud to announce that Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi Malaysia has granted it the university college status.

The approval comes at the right time as it is ready to take off its homegrown Bachelor of Communication (Advertising) (Hons) and B.A. (Hons) Creative Multimedia programmes in April 2018. In addition, there are six other Bachelor’s Degree and one Master’s programmes which are in the pipeline to be offered soon.

To further boost its homegrown Bachelor’s Degree programmes, it is also discussing with universities in China, Taiwan, Korea, Australia and United Kingdom to confer its graduates with dual-award degrees.

HCC, which now bears the name Han Chiang University College of Communication (HCUC), boasts of the state-of-art facilities including its multimedia mac lab, library with digital cataloguing system, TV studio, radio studio, audio studio and creative media centre on its campus along Jalan Lim Lean Teng.

HCUC Vice Chancellor, Dr Beh Kok Hooi commended the Board of Directors and staff of HCUC for all the hard work which has paid off.

Dr Beh added, “I specially thank Han Chiang Board of Directors for the financial support, improvement in staff welfare and fulfilment of the capital investment criteria”.

“This is a great achievement for HCUC but my ultimate aim is for HCUC to become a full- fledged university in 10 years’ time,” he said.
