History

In 2006, Taylor’s was granted ‘University College’ status, 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 by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, Taylor’s is now one of the nation’s leading private higher education institutions.


Lakeside Campus

Taylor's University established its Lakeside Campus in 2010 to accommodate the ever-expanding number of students. On the grounds of the campus itself lies Syopz, a commercial block with restaurants and shops. U Residence, the official accommodation for students, is also located there. In 2011, Taylor’s received the Special Honour Award from the Institute of Landscape Architects Malaysia in Category 3: Professional Awards in Landscape Design and Planning. The Lakeside Campus was awarded in all three building categories of Interior Design, Architecture and Landscape.


Research and enterprise

The Taylor's University Research and Enterprise department is segregated into three components: Centre for Higher Degrees by Research (CHDR) – managing postgraduate research programmes with the Schools; Centre for Research Management (CRM) – focuses on providing information and services for grant applications, management and tracking of grants, assess research progress and overall coordination of the university’s strategic research objectives; and the Centre for Knowledge Transfer & Commercialisation (KTC) – leveraging on intellectual capital to commercialise products from research findings.
