    B Corp certified Chatsworth Medi@rt Academy offers M.A.D--Asia’s first and only integrated diploma. Short for Making A Difference through education in Marketing, Advertising and Design, our integrated course is the only one that fits all three disciplines into one. Our students are armed with a designer's creative skill set, the marketing professional's analytical abilities and the advertising professional's razor-sharp strategic acumen. Many went on to work for premier ad agencies, started their own design or advertising agencies, furthered their education or have trailblazing careers in Singapore and beyond. More than professional and industrial creative and advertising skills, we throw you the life buoy of strategic and survival skills from our award-winning lecturers and practitioners in the creative field. When it comes to awards, our students scooped up the prestigious 2012 D&AD Yellow Pencil 2012, Captain Green award and ranked 4th in the 2012 Crowbars awards. Our creative efforts paid off as a recent shortlist for the Mobex 2013 award. Student involvement with NGO projects in Make the Change initiative, all in all cement CMA as a school for the seriously talented, taught by the seriously talented.
