We offer a growing range of short courses, seminars and workshops, drawing on ISF's collective knowledge of creating change towards sustainable futures. Many of our short courses are offered through the UTS Open learning platform.
Our short courses include in-person experiences, often using the state-of-the-art learning facilities at the UTS Ultimo campus. We also offer online short courses, designed to givelearners the flexibility to balance study with their other commitments.
