At Raffles University, we believe wellbeing is fundamental to personal growth and human flourishing.

The Raffles University Psychological Wellness Centre (RUPC) was established to provide professional psychological support and wellbeing services for both our university community and the wider public.

Through counselling, assessment, psychotherapy, and wellbeing-focused interventions, RUPC is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and cultivate healthier lives.

Because caring for mental wellbeing is not only about overcoming difficulties. It is about creating the conditions to thrive.

Your mental wellbeing matters.

Life comes with different challenges, transitions, and uncertainties. Sometimes, having the right support can make a meaningful difference.

At the Raffles University Psychological Wellness Centre (RUPC), we provide professional psychological and counselling services for both the wider community and our university students. Through a safe, confidential, and supportive environment, we aim to support emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and psychological health.

Whether you are navigating life's challenges, seeking greater self-understanding, or simply looking for someone to talk to, support is available.

Because wellbeing is not just about overcoming difficulties. It is about living, growing, and thriving.

📍 Available online and face-to-face

Design is never just about what you make. It is also about why you continue making it.

Thank you to Jay Lim and Vivian Toh for joining us for Past, Present, Future, an honest and thoughtful conversation about creativity, uncertainty, resilience, and growth.

Through stories of building, questioning, pausing, and starting again, participants were reminded that a creative journey is rarely linear. What matters is not only the work we produce, but the values, experiences, and purpose that continue to shape us along the way.

At Raffles University, we are committed to creating opportunities for students to learn from practitioners who share not only their achievements, but also the realities behind the journey.

A meaningful afternoon of reflection, learning, and inspiration.

It's okay to seek support.

University life brings opportunities, growth, new experiences, and sometimes challenges along the way.

At Raffles University, we believe wellbeing is an important part of the learning journey. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness. It is a step towards understanding yourself better and navigating challenges with greater clarity.

If you ever need someone to listen, support is available.

For appointment arrangements, please contact SAS.

Every student journey is different.

While university life brings opportunities for growth and discovery, it can also come with challenges, uncertainties, and moments when extra support is needed.

At the Raffles University Psychological Wellness Centre, we believe wellbeing is an important part of personal and academic growth. Through our counselling services, we support both the wider community and Raffles University students by providing a safe, confidential, and supportive space to be heard.

Because sometimes, having someone to talk to can make all the difference.

For counselling appointments, RU students may contact SAS for further assistance.

Great spaces do more than look good. They shape the way we live, work, connect, and experience the world around us.

At Raffles University’s Faculty of Built Environment and Regenerative Design, students learn to combine creativity, functionality, and sustainability to design spaces that make a meaningful impact on people and communities.

Whether your passion lies in interior design or creating a more sustainable built environment, your journey starts here.

Programmes Available

▪ Diploma in Interior Design

Design spaces. Shape experiences. Create a better future.

Behind every pitch is a person. 📸

We loved hosting the Projects for Happiness 2.0 pitching session, but some of the best moments happened away from the presentations.

The nervous laughs before stepping up. The relieved smiles afterwards. The candid conversations between sessions. The friendships forming between students from different universities who had never met before that morning.

These are the moments that often go unseen, yet they are just as important as the ideas being presented.

This is what community looks like before it becomes a project. It is also why Projects for Happiness matters. Not only because of the grants awarded, but because it creates opportunities for young people from across Malaysia to come together, share ideas, and discover a common purpose.

To every student who pitched, supported a teammate, shared a conversation, or simply brought positive energy into the room, thank you for being part of the experience. 💛

Design is never just about what you make. It is about why you continue making it and how you grow through the process.

At Raffles University, we believe design education extends beyond the classroom. It is shaped through exposure, dialogue, and engagement with real world creative practice.

This June, we invite you to “Past, Present, Future”, a design sharing session with Jay Lim and Vivian Toh, founders of CUTOUT Magazine, TSUBAKI Studio, and HASURISO.

As part of our commitment to connecting students with meaningful industry perspectives, this session explores what it takes to build and sustain a creative practice, from uncertain beginnings and defining moments to growth, evolution, and renewed direction.

Drawing from their experiences in publishing, independent practice, and creative direction, Jay and Vivian will share insights into how designers navigate change, develop their creative voice, and respond to an evolving design landscape.

Whether you are starting out or rethinking your path, this session offers an opportunity to reflect, question, and expand your understanding of design and creative practice.

Date: 3 June 2026
Time: 3pm – 4pm
Venue: Raffles University Medini Campus, G1 & G2

Open to Public
Come with curiosity.

Happy Wesak Day to all who celebrate.

May this sacred day bring peace, happiness, and enlightenment to all. May the spirit of compassion, mindfulness, and kindness continue to inspire harmony within our communities and everyday lives.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and peaceful Wesak Day.

Orientation at Raffles University is more than an introduction, it is the beginning of a meaningful academic and personal journey.

We believe every student’s journey begins with belonging, and we are committed to nurturing that experience from day one.
