After having studied at another university, I have found the support, encouragement and subject delivery at CSU to well and truly exceed my expectations.
"We believe business-to-business interactions are critical to enhance successful business practice. As a result, industry engagement is pivotal to the course. You will be exposed to business mentoring opportunities, networking, collaborative learning, and group learning with other businesses through clusters."
I will be attending Charles Sturt University to study a Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management.
