Taylor's University ranks 53 in Asia; emerges as top Malaysian private university
SUBANG JAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Taylor's University is now ranked 53 in Asia according to the QS Asia 
University Rankings 2022, leaping 36 places from the previous year, and 
cementing its position as Malaysia's top private university.

The institution has recorded a jump of more than 140 ranks since 2016 to 
achieve its meteoric rise, on the back of positive trends in the recent QS 
Graduate Employment Rankings 2022 and the QS World University Rankings 2022 
that saw the university maintain its position as the leading private university 
in Malaysia and Southeast Asia and placing it at the top 1.1% of the most 
influential institutions globally.

This recent results show significant improvement in the International Research 
Network and Citations Per Paper indicators, as well as Academic Reputation. 
Notably, the university ranks 12th in Asia for the International Students 
indicator, with nearly 4000 international students from 89 countries, such as 
China, Indonesia, Mauritius and Korea. 

"We have far exceeded our initial target of breaking into the top 100 in Asia 
by 2022, and I believe this is an affirmation that strategic foresight in 
curriculum and culture transformation is essential for education institutions 
to thrive in this era," said Taylor's University Vice Chancellor and President, 
Professor Michael Driscoll.

"Despite its relatively young age, Taylor's has proved its adaptability even in 
challenging times to produce meaningful research as well as foster strong 
industry networks and a conducive ecosystem that ensures our graduates are 
equipped with the necessary intellectual, practical and creative intelligences."

Additionally, the university retained its Top 20 world ranking in the 
Hospitality and Leisure Management subject in the QS World University Rankings 
by Subject 2021 earlier this year – making it the only university in Malaysia, 
and Southeast Asia, to be in the Top 20 ranking. The same rankings also 
indicated that the Taylor's Business School is the top private business school 
in Malaysia for Business and Management Studies. 

Taylor's is also one of few Asian universities awarded the QS 5 Stars rating 
for Online Learning. The award is testament to the institution's direction in 
its teaching and learning approach, where e-learning has taken centre-stage. 
The unprecedented pandemic has accelerated the university's latest approach in 
its new Taylor's Curriculum Framework and curating a Taylor'sphere ecosystem, 
developed to hone multiple intelligences and encourage multidisciplinary 
learning.
