Professor Michael Driscoll, Vice Chancellor and President of Taylor’s University, stated “the institution was anticipating this achievement following an outstanding year in various QS ranking exercises and kicked off 2020 by attaining the top-most position among the private universities in Malaysia and South-East Asia according to the QS World University Rankings 2021.
Subsequently, the institution broke into the QS Top 50 Under 50 in 2021, making it the only Malaysian private university to be ranked within the coveted Top 50 Under 50 in the world. The achievements are the results of a massive team effort at Taylor’s and close engagement with industry partners.”
“Despite the unprecedented pandemic, our vision of radical administrative and curriculum reforms has served us well, as we accelerated our digitalisation efforts to pave the way for innovation in teaching and learning. Our online learning, which has ensured learning continuity for our students throughout the government enforced campus closure, was subsequently awarded the QS 5 Stars rating. Following this, we will continue to push forward with our Borderless Learning concept and a unique ecosystem that future-proofs our graduates with intellectual knowledge, emotional capacities and entrepreneurial creativity to tackle the challenging job market,” said Professor Driscoll.
The institution’s Borderless Learning initiative, via its award-winning Virtual Learning Environment, enables local and international students to attend classes in either on-campus or online mode, while engaging in discussions and projects virtually. The initiative includes Taylor’s Lecture Capture System (ReWIND), Lightboard Technology, a gamification system and hundreds of subject-specific microsites.
Taylor’s is actively represented in Sri Lanka by STS International (Pvt) Ltd. which offers a gamut of services for the students, from facilitating the admission process, obtaining visa to arranging accommodation and assisting to adapt to the student life in Malaysia. Due to the current pandemic situation, STS has opened the option of online consultation to assess and guide students through the program portfolio and academic pathway.
