Han Chiang College, a not-for-profit institution of higher learning situated in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia, provides quality tertiary education for the young generation to fulfill the demand of the industry.

Han Chiang High School started a journalism programme in 1978 to provide affordable tertiary education for students who were unable to pursue higher education locally or overseas. This programme successfully produced a good number of trained journalists for the news media industry and established a reputation as a key player in the education industry since then.

Due to the growing demand for more professionals and skilled personnel in Malaysia, the Journalism programme was upgraded to diploma level under Han Chiang College of Journalism and Communication in 1998. With the establishment of Han Chiang College on 13 July 1999, Han Chiang College of Journalism and Communication was incorporated into the School of Mass Communication of the College. From Journalism, the College has expanded its horizons and made its foray into other disciplines, offering two-and-a-half-year Diploma programmes in Mass Communication, Business Management, Information Technology, Chinese Studies, Multimedia Design, Electronic Engineering, etc.

Besides, with the objective of promoting life-long and self-enhancement, Han Chiang College set up a Continuing Education Centre in 2004 to introduce educational and training programmes to students as well as working adults from various sectors. These programmes are in line with the need for quality human resources in national development.

The establishment of Han Chiang College marks a milestone in the history of education in Malaysia. It has become the first and only education provider that offers education at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
