Study

From early 2026, the Regenerative Futures Institute is offering an interdisciplinary minor to select RMIT students, as well as short courses for industry partners and adult workers.

Our courses cover a broad range of topics related to regenerative practices and sustainability innovation. They will equip learners who aspire to go beyond sustainability and actively contribute to solutions for the future.
