If you’re thinking of studying ACCA, you probably already know that it's one of the most reputable professional accounting qualifications in the world. Known for its rigorous standards, ACCA offers a fast-track route to becoming a certified chartered accountant, unlocking careers not just in finance and accounting, but also in business, consulting, and beyond.
But here’s the truth — where you study ACCA matters just as much as what you study.
So, what makes Taylor’s College stand out from the rest?
With over 50 years of academic experience, here’s how this top private institution in Malaysia will give you an unfair advantage that could put you miles ahead of your competition.
#1. Taylor’s is an ACCA Platinum Approved Learning Partner
Plenty of institutions offer ACCA, but only a few have earned the Platinum status that’s awarded by ACCA itself — the highest and most prestigious level of recognition available.
This means that Taylor’s meets ACCA’s strict benchmarks for teaching quality and student support, including gaining feedback from current students about their experience. Most importantly, Platinum learning partners must demonstrate student pass rates that exceed the global average.
So with Taylor’s, you can be confident that you’ll be taught by qualified, experienced lecturers with access to excellent study materials and high pass rates, all validated by ACCA.

#2. International pathways that put you ahead
Here’s something you don’t see every day.
At Taylor’s, you can take your ACCA journey one step further by transferring to Birmingham City University in the UK in your 3rd year to pursue an MSc International Professional Accounting (ACCA) while studying for your ACCA Strategic Professional exams (the final 4 papers). That’s right — not only will you graduate with an ACCA qualification and a Master’s Degree, but you’ll also gain international exposure and the prestige of studying abroad.
Not sure if that’s the route for you? There’s more than one route to expand your horizons.
Completing your ACCA Foundation in Accountancy at Taylor’s will allow you to transfer to the University of South Australia to pursue a Bachelor of Accounting, Bachelor of Digital Business or any Business-related degree. Prefer something closer to the ACCA route? Transfer to Dublin Business School in Ireland in your 3rd year and complete your ACCA papers there.
#3. Highly qualified and experienced lecturers
When you’re investing your time and money into your ACCA journey, it’s crucial to be learning from people who truly understand the field, both academically and practically.
And that’s what you’ll get at Taylor’s.
The majority of their lecturers hold a Master’s degree and bring actual industry experience from professional accounting firms and the corporate world, giving you real-world insights.
In addition, as a Platinum Approved Learning Partner, they also have a proven track record of preparing their students well for exams through innovative teaching methods and proven exam techniques, ensuring that you don’t just pass, but pass well.
#4. Bring your business ideas to life
Why stop at accounting when you can be the next big entrepreneur?
While the ACCA programme equips you with a strong foundation in strategy, financial management, and risk assessment, Taylor’s goes even further with an array of resources to help turn your ideas into actual business ventures.
For starters, there’s BizPod, Taylor’s very own startup incubator that will help you launch and grow your startup through expert mentorship. You’ll also gain access to their Camp of Leaders where industry leaders will share insights to propel your project forward.
Along the way, you’ll develop the skills to lead, collaborate, and solve problems creatively, all crucial in this AI-driven world.

#5. Plenty of scholarships, including financing from Yayasan Peneraju
If you’re worried about how you’ll be funding your ACCA qualification, fret not.
Taylor’s offers a range of scholarships designed to recognise high-achieving students:
- Taylor's Young Accountant Scholarship: Up to 100% tuition fee waiver for ACCA FIA
- Taylor’s College ACCA Scholarship: Up to 100% tuition fee waiver for ACCA
- Taylor's Excellence Award: Up to 48% tuition fee waiver based on academic results
But that’s not all.
Taylor’s College is also a Yayasan Peneraju Approved Learning and Training Institution (ALTI), which means that if you are a bumiputera student, you can apply for financing of up to RM150,000 to cover your ACCA journey. This could potentially even be converted into a scholarship if you achieve straight passes (subject to terms stipulated by Yayasan Peneraju).
#6. Sought-after and trusted by employers
As the No. 1 private university in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, Taylor’s produces graduates who are consistently in demand across the job market. Many are actively recruited by top employers, including the Big Four accounting firms (i.e. Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC), government-linked companies, banks, and other major corporations.
This did not happen by chance. Rather, it is a result of their holistic approach that blends technical skills with soft skills to produce graduates who are workplace-ready and can contribute meaningfully from day one.
On top of that, Taylor’s also distinguishes itself with Taylor’sphere, a unique learning ecosystem and community that nurtures your intellect, creativity, and practical wisdom to ensure that you graduate in demand.
#7. World-class academic and service facilities
Your learning environment matters — and Taylor’s delivers on all fronts.
Their e-learning facilities include X-Space (a technology-rich collaborative classroom), VX Learning Theatre (a learning space for virtual interaction), and Lightboard Recording Studio (where lecturers record visual explanations on a glass board). One standout feature is their ReWIND lecture-capture system that automatically records every class with audio, visual, and presentation slides so you can revisit any part of your lecture anytime you want.
But it’s not all about academics. The Taylor’s Student Life Centre provides cosy lounges, gaming zones, and discussion areas designed for creativity and collaboration. When you need to unwind, you can work out at the UniGym, take a dip in the swimming pool, or head to the courts for futsal and basketball. All of this is set against a backdrop of a stunning lakeside campus and an on-campus mall with a host of retail and F&B outlets to suit every craving.
