True. If every simple module over were one-dimensional, the Maschke theorem and the Artin–Wedderburn theorem would make a product of copies of , hence commutative. But its basis elements multiply as in , so commutativity of implies commutativity of . This contradicts the assumption. Therefore a non-Abelian finite group has a simple module of dimension greater than one.
