Contents

It was founded in 1969 as a college, was awarded university college status in 2006, and university status in 2010.

Taylor's University is a member of the Taylor's Education Group, which also includes British University Vietnam, Taylor’s College, Garden International School, Nexus International School, Australian International School Malaysia, and Taylor’s International School.

History

In 2006, Taylor’s was granted ‘University College’ status, [3] which resulted in two distinct identities under the tertiary arm of the brand – Taylor’s College and Taylor’s University College.

Work commenced to build the RM450 million Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, in Subang Jaya, in early 2007 and was completed in January 2010.

Officially awarded as a full-fledged university status in September 2010 [4] by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, Taylor’s is now one of the nation’s leading private higher education institutions. [2]
