The advertising course at Charles Sturt University (CSU) is now fully accredited by the national industry body, the Media Federation of Australia (MFA). Associate Professor Rod McCulloch, Head of the CSU School of Communication and advertising course coordinator, said “This is great news for the University and our students, and is a tribute to the hard work of Mr David Maxwell, lecturer in advertising at CSU, who made it happen. It means that the overarching national body of advertising media professionals in Australia recognises and endorses the course, and this ensures that CSU is a leading provider of job-ready professionals who can work anywhere in Australia or the world. In line with the speed of change media is experiencing, our advertising course is going from strength to strength, and our students are prepared for exciting roles in a dynamic and challenging economic climate where advertisers increasingly seek more bang for their bucks. The accreditation of the course adds a level of certainty to our students’ and graduates’ prospects.”
