Taylor’s New Flexible Curriculum Framework
Taylor’s introduction of its Taylor’s Curriculum Framework (TCF) in 2018 marks the opportunity for students to mix and match their degree to provide an enhanced learning journey.
For example, students can take a core major in marketing and take a minimum of ANY five related electives to qualify for a minor such as culinary arts.
Though this concept is practiced in other countries such as Australia or the United States but the flexibility of subjects that can be chosen is still closely tied to the core major.
Whereas under TCF, students are given the freedom to choose ANY subjects/ discipline that they want explore and develop a passion for while still their first option as a core major.
Taylor’s highly-qualified academics and counsellors help students form their curated degree ensuring that the necessary credit hours and requirements are met.
