World's Top 400 in Engineering and Technology

Taylor’s School of Engineering is ranked among the World’s Top 400 in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. The School is also in the Top 400 for Engineering and Technology and Top 450 for Mechanical Engineering, which are recognised as Malaysia’s Top Private Non-Government Linked University.

Premier Digital Tech IHL status by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)

Taylor’s University was awarded the Premier Digital Tech IHL status by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). The status is recognition of the higher institution’s dedication and qualifications in offering top-notch digital technology courses to ensure highly-skilled graduates.

Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA)

Accreditation by the MQA is the statutory baseline every Malaysian university meets. It confirms a qualification counts towards employment, further study, and public service. All 100 programmes we offer are listed on the Malaysian Qualifications Register.

Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) / Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC)

Our Chemical, Electrical and Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering degrees are EAC accredited, which is what allows graduates to register with BEM and work towards signing off engineering work in Malaysia.

Washington Accord

EAC accreditation carries our engineering degrees into every Washington Accord country, so graduates can pursue professional registration in Australia, the UK, Canada, or the United States without requalifying.

Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)

Mechanical Engineering graduates can apply through IMechE for Chartered Engineer status in the UK, giving them a second professional route alongside Malaysian registration.

Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)

Chartered Engineer status in the UK is open to our Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates through the IET, assessed on working competence rather than the degree alone.
