PURPOSEFUL LEADERS

Passionate Business Leaders of the Future

Entrepreneurship has become a crucial factor in the development and well-being of societies. It has been proven to increase innovation as well as promote productivity and healthy economic competition.

The School takes pride in grooming business graduates who can create social value through their business activities, looking beyond profit margins and emphasing on the value of contributing to the community. We cultivate purposeful business leaders who possess a different mindset and understanding of business.

We believe that purposeful leaders should have a holistic view of the company and see beyond the organisational divisions and hierarchy. Transformation can only take place when students are able to see the ‘big picture’ view of the organisation and business landscape as a whole.

As such, we provide many opportunities for students to be immersed in situations where they are challenged to see from an owner’s perspective and subsequently make decisions from an owner’s stand point. These experiences shape our graduates to see their role as part of the organisation and business community, as well as influence their desire to make a difference.

Fresh Mart – Students purchase fresh vegetables, fruits, and flowers from the farms of Cameron Highlands and sell them on campus. The profits are then donated back to the local farmers. Students are thus able to help the local farming community, and gain exposure to business enterprise through real business experiences.

Social Entrepreneurship

Taylor’s University students are encouraged to use their business acumen to address social issues and develop business solutions to improve the quality of life of affected communities. Despite being challenged with limited budget and resources, they are required to develop creative and cost-effective proposals to achieve their business goals. This enhances their practical experience in running a business, enabling them to apply their classroom knowledge as well as improve ethical, interpersonal, communication, leadership and problem-solving skills during the project.

National Business and Entrepreneurship Competitions
Taylor’s University students have consistently been involved in real-life business presentations and pitches, where they have gone on to clinch numerous awards and gain national and international recognition.

These opportunities put their knowledge and skills to the test, and add to the repository of experiences that prepare them for business. Active participation in these events also enables students to benchmark their solutions and knowledge against their peers, while managing the challenges that come with actual business scenarios.

Service Learning

Service learning is incorporated as a core initiative in our business education, through community-based projects to enhance our students’ sense of civic responsibility. These projects are designed to enable students to achieve specific learning outcomes while gaining a rich mastery of the business modules offered at the School.

The Programme for After Class Enrichment (PACE)
This programme, in collaboration with the Edge Education Foundation and EY (Ernst & Young), assists youth to perform better in their studies. TBS students contribute their individual efforts in order to make improvements in another person’s life, through academic support and mentoring in the form of tuition classes.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

From Classroom Theories to Real-Life Practice

At TBS, experience is at the heart of the learning process. Our carefully-tailored approach combines a strong foundation of theories, as well as avenues to apply these theories into practical settings, to maximise learning.

In order to achieve this, we employ a variety of teaching and learning strategies, where students are exposed to real-life scenarios and industry-relevant experiences that enhance student engagement, both inside and outside the classroom.

Taylor’s University Business faculty is committed to providing students with a challenging and rewarding educational experience, where they are motivated and challenged to hone their skills further through practice. This naturally transitions to the experimentation phase, resulting in a more engaging approach to learning across-the-board.

Throughout their course of study, students are encouraged to experiment and express ideas and techniques in their pursuit of gaining deeper insights into their chosen field of study.

Blended Learning

Universities around the world are addressing the challenges of making teaching and learning more accessible and more flexible. The push towards greater flexibility of learning, supported by existing and emerging technologies, is substantially being driven by students who seek to engage in learning whenever and wherever they choose.

TBS leverages on the opportunities provided by technological advances to support learners. At TBS, there is a strategic and systematic approach to combining different times and modes of learning, integrating the best aspects of face-to-face and online interactions.

We refer to this as the Blended Learning approach, and it includes:

• Face-to-face and online learning activities and formats
• Well-established technologies such as lecture capture, social media and emerging technologies simulations
• 24/7 access to all learning content
• Ability to gauge students’ progress against learning outcomes, receive supporting feedback and information on students’ progress
• Usage of collaborative digital communication platforms such as WordPress, Google Drive, Twitter and Facebook
• X-Space Smart Classroom
• Part of Taylor’s Collaborative Classroom of the future and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement, X-Space is the future of classrooms at Taylor’s University. These classrooms utilise technology to facilitate collaborative learning to create an engaging and diverse learning experience.

The technology used in these collaborative classrooms enhances creative and critical thinking skills in students, as well as promotes student engagement, and ultimately increases their understanding of the subject matter.

Industry-standard Software

To keep abreast with the latest industry advancements, Taylor’s University implements MyAccounting Lab, a web-based tutorial and assessment software for accounting. More than accounting concepts, it teaches students how to learn by motivating them to persevere through difficult concepts and providing immediate feedback to measure their progress.

Students are thus empowered and better prepared to face their professional careers armed with the skills of problem-solving and communication, as well as a sense of confidence in their abilities as lifelong learners. This thorough understanding enables our students to integrate seamlessly into the industry upon graduation.

Student e-Portfolio

Electronic portfolios or e-Portfolios, is utilised to support students, faculty and staff in the process of creating a dynamic and engaging tool for teaching, learning, reflection, transformation and assessment.

The e-Portfolio allows students to keep a collection of digital or electronic items, such as word documents, graphs, photos, and presentations, within a single secure online environment. This way, it serves as a digital record of the students’ achievements, abilities and classroom work throughout the course.

We incorporate the e-Portfolio into our curriculum, so students can monitor, build and reflect on their personal development. The TBS e-Portfolio is much more than just an electronic repository. It allows students to take charge of their learning and goals, their achievements at university and beyond. Our e-Portfolio serves as a powerful catalyst for integrated learning and holistic development of students, as well as a tool for personal branding and professional development.
