About this university
About Taylor's University
Taylor's University is one of Malaysia's most recognised private universities and, by QS rankings, the top-ranked private university in Southeast Asia. Based at its Lakeside Campus in Subang Jaya — about 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur — Taylor's grew from a college founded in 1969 into a full university (it earned university college status in 2006 and full university status in 2010). The purpose-built RM450 million Lakeside Campus is known for its bright, modern, lakeside setting. If you picture yourself studying somewhere energetic, international and close to a major Asian city, Taylor's is an easy place to feel at home.
Taylor's is best known for its hospitality, business and design programs — it sits at #26 in the world for Hospitality & Leisure Management (QS 2026) — but that's only part of the story. You'll also find well-regarded degrees in computer science, engineering, communication, medicine and more, all taught in English and accredited by Malaysia's MQA and Ministry of Higher Education. With Taylor's ranked #34 in the world for international student ratio, you'll be studying alongside people from across the globe from your very first day.
For international students, the appeal is the combination: globally ranked programs (QS World #253 in 2026, up from #284 in 2024), a welcoming campus, and the affordability and lifestyle of studying in Malaysia. Taylor's also highlights strong graduate outcomes — a graduate employability rate reported at 99.5% in MOHE's 2024 Graduate Tracer Study. As a guide, most bachelor's programs cost around RM 34,000–50,000 per year (Medicine is higher), though fees change by intake and program. Whatever you want to study, YS Training & Consultancy can help you choose the right Taylor's program, confirm the current official fees, and apply with confidence — talk to us free to get started.
