Taylor’s Business Foundation

  Institution: Taylor’s University

We continue to make TBF a strong foothold for all business education, set within a professional environment. We create access to technology in education, while maintaining the highest possible standards in teaching and learning.

This programme equips students with the necessary foundation to pursue a future in business. The programme emphasises on learning by doing, and therefore, students are regularly required to work on actual projects.

Students are exposed to a dynamic environment, which encourages two-way interaction between students and lecturers. Learning also takes place beyond the classroom via community service, participation in competitions, and many more. The programme stimulates our students’ curiosity and appreciation of knowledge, and inspires lifelong learning.

Upon successful completion of this programme, students are eligible to enroll into our degree programmes, creating a seamless transition towards pursuing a future in business.
