The Integrative Ecosocial Design (ESD) pathway provides a broad professional foundation for your subsequent career and life-long learning choices. By enrolling in the IESD program you learn and practice conscious design skills to generate a deeper understanding of ecological systems, further developed through hands-on engagement in self-directed and designed projects.
The Regenerative Enterprise Design and Development (REDD) pathway puts particular emphasis on supporting you in the creation of your own regenerative livelihood, earning your living doing what you love. There will be particular support for developing a business structure, fund-raising, seeking investment and making use of the many opportunities available for doing business.
The Open Topic pathway gives you the freedom to allow your areas of interest to emerge organically, proposing the topic of your degree in your last year based on the interests and experiences that have been most significant for you on your pathway.
