Taylor's University Accelerates Towards Top 100 in Asia

SUBANG JAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 2019 has been an incredible year for Taylor's University as the institution 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 5-star overall rating, with 5 stars rating in 6 areas making it the best Malaysian private university in the QS Stars University Ratings 2019-2022 exercise.

Taylor's University Vice Chancellor and President, Professor Michael Driscoll, says the latest large increase in the QS Asia ranking for Taylor's University is a vote of confidence in the strategy that the university is pursuing.

Recently, the university moved up to the 109^th position in the QS Asia University Rankings 2020, a huge jump from last year's 135^th position. The institution saw positive development in the ranking scores for most indicators namely Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Faculty Student, Citations per Paper, International Faculty, International Students, Inbound Exchange Students and Outbound Exchange Students.

Taylor's University Vice Chancellor and President Professor Michael Driscoll takes the latest large increase in the QS Asia ranking as a vote of confidence in the strategy that Taylor's University is pursuing.

"In the last few years we have totally transformed the university by introducing radical reforms to our approach to teaching and research and by broadening our international reach. 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 right around the world. We have also expanded research activity and invested heavily in research leadership. Today, our research and advanced study is on a strong upward trend with increased numbers of postgraduate and PhD students, faculty with PhDs and increasing domestic and international research funding.

"Our employer partners have strongly signalled their approval of the direction Taylor's is taking. In addition, international students also increasingly view Taylor's University as a destination of choice.

"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.
