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.

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]
