Pioneering Ground-Breaking Initiatives

Taylor’s University aims to produce practical solutions that have a major global impact on the 3Ps: People, Planet, and Prosperity through education and research. This aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), representing a comprehensive integration of advocacy, research, and education.

Professor Dr. Pradeep Nair, the Vice-Chancellor stated:

In 2022, we set out to become a purpose-driven university – where our education and research will focus on crafting solutions to real world problems. In addition to acquiring the essential qualifications for entering the workforce, students today seek meaning in their education. The new generation of learners is increasingly purpose-driven and socially aware; they desire education that is not only relevant but also personalised, aligning with their unique identities, passions, and goals. In light of this, Taylor’s took proactive measures by establishing Impact Labs. These labs aim to engage our students in social and environmental initiatives where they can actively participate and contribute positively to their communities.
