Taylor’s Lakeside Campus is set on 11ha of tropical greenery with a revived 2.2ha man-made lake.
TAYLOR’S University continues to dominate the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2020 by retaining its Top 20 in the World position for the fiercely contested Hospitality And Leisure Management subject.
This achievement places Taylor’s alongside renowned universities globally, including Switzerland’s Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and the Netherlands’ Hotel School de Hague, to name a few.
The university is also the only institution in Malaysia to be in the Top 20 ranking.
In addition to the recognition for Hospitality And Leisure Management, Taylor’s University also jumped 100 ranks – breaking into the top 250 universities in the world for Business and Management Studies, retaining its top private business school status in Malaysia.
Taylor’s University vice chancellor and president Prof Michael Driscoll expressed elation over the accomplishment, sharing that this accolade further solidified Taylor’s strong standing in this area.
“As Taylor’s University moves to the next chapter towards balanced excellence, this accomplishment provides us with a stronger foundation as we continue to attract the best talents, collaborate with the best partners globally and produce the best graduates who make a difference in their communities, wherever they are in the world.
‘The new Taylor’s Curriculum Framework gives greater emphasis to a customised curriculum, with new life skills training for all students, enhanced opportunities for industry internships and periods of study abroad with outstanding universities around the world,’ said Prof Driscoll.
“In the last few years we have totally transformed the university by introducing radical reforms to our approach to teaching and learning by broadening our international reach.

“Our employer partners have strongly signalled their approval of the direction Taylor’s is taking and the outcome of this transformation reflected in the new ranking is the result of a massive team effort at Taylor’s and close engagement with employers,” he said.
Under the Taylor’s Curriculum Framework, bachelor degree students are now able to mix and match their subjects across various disciplines.
Imagine an Engineering student taking a minor in Business or Psychology, or a graduate doing a double major in Computer Science and Marketing. This concept enables students to personalise their degree studies according to their own strengths, interests and abilities to make themselves more competitive.
The Institute of the Future predicts that by the time a person who graduates today retires, he or she would have worked 15 to 19 different jobs, across different sectors and perhaps in different countries.
Jobs now and in the future will demand life skills, social and emotional intelligence, cultural adaptability, and real-world experiences.
Taylor’s University houses simulated hotel spaces equipped with the latest versions of the Opera and Delphi guest management systems, and here’s where students gain a competitive edge as they will have experience using systems employed in leading hotels around the world.
In this vein, Taylor’s University is the first university to introduce courses in life skills, emotional intelligence, social innovation and design thinking.
All subjects in its degree programmes are carefully embedded with key future-ready skills such as problem solving, communication, lifelong learning, entrepreneurialism and global perspectives.
Taylor’s is also among the first universities in the world where students graduate with two degree parchments, an academic and a Graduate Capabilities Attainment (GCA) statement, which score them on their future job skills.
Thus far, it has been an incredible journey for Taylor’s University – a young, dynamic and ambitious institution – as it continues to be the leading private university in Malaysia for employer reputation in the QS World University Rankings 2020 and QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2020 results.
The university was also awarded the prestigious five-star overall rating, with five stars rating in six areas making it the best Malaysian private university in the QS Stars University Rating 2019-2022 exercise.
The latest is, the university moved up to 109th position in the QS Asia University Rankings 2020, a huge jump from its previous 135th spot.
