Study

From early 2026, the Regenerative Futures Institute will offer a variety of study options for industry partners, adult workers and RMIT students studying a range of programs.

These interdisciplinary short courses – which when stacked will make up the minor – cover a broad range of topics focussed on regenerative practices and sustainability innovation. They will equip learners with the knowledge and skills they need to apply regenerative thinking and practices at work and beyond.
