As a new member of Malaysia’s top private university
you will have access to world class teaching and
learning facilities. The Lakeside Campus is the most
iconic University Campus in Malaysia and has been
ranked as the top university campus in Malaysia by
international students. I would encourage you to
make the most of what we have available for you
here on campus.
In joining Taylor’s University you are becoming part of
a large multi-ethnic and multi-national community of
scholars. This will provide you with the unique
opportunity to study alongside the brightest students
in Malaysia and from around the world, and to make
VICE CHANCELLOR & friendships that will endure for the rest of your life.
PRESIDENT
May I encourage you to make the most of the unique
experiences that we offer at Taylor’s University and if
you have come from outside Kuala Lumpur or
Malaysia, to enjoy the cultural and leisure
opportunities offered by the city and the country.
I am delighted that you have chosen Taylor’s
University for your higher education. I wish you
every success in your studies and every enjoyment
during your time with us.
Very best wishes,
Michael Driscoll
