We’re thrilled to announce a game-changing partnership, HEX Education is now officially recognised by RMIT University!

Students who complete any HEX programs like the HEX High Accelerator, HEX High Intensive or the HEX Global Internship will receive academic credit when they join RMIT across RMIT Australia, RMIT Vietnam, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), or RMIT Online.

“At HEX, we're committed to building bridges between future-focused learners and world-class institutions. This global credit articulation partnership RMIT is a powerful step forward — creating innovative and flexible pathways for students to turn their HEX experience into recognised academic credit across RMIT's global campuses. Together, we're expanding access to future skills and opening doors to the next generation of innovators." - Chris Hoffmann, Co-Founder at HEX.

Why This Partnership is a Game Changer

With the world moving toward Transnational Education (TNE), there has never been a better time to power up with HEX and RMIT.

Transnational Education is reshaping Australia's education landscape, making it the perfect time to stand out globally with practical, recognised innovation experience. By partnering with HEX and RMIT, students can accelerate their degree and prepare themselves for their future careers.

TNE is transforming how students access education across borders, enabling ambitious learners to gain globally recognised qualifications without the need to relocate. This collaboration between HEX and RMIT is a bold step toward more accessible, flexible, and globally relevant pathways.

In alignment with this shift, RMIT continues to invest in job-ready education and real-world credentials. Their new ‘Earn and Learn’ initiative reinforces this focus, ensuring students graduate with the experience and skills needed to succeed from day one.

This partnership will see HEX programs come with academic credit from a leading university like RMIT, which will recognise this innovative education pathway across all RMIT locations, including RMIT Australia, RMIT Vietnam, RMIT International partner location Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), and RMIT Online. 

How It Works

This partnership is open to all students, both domestic and international, starting from high school,  providing an opportunity to boost their degree with real-world innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership experience.

RMIT will grant course credit (exemptions) to HEX students who successfully complete one or more units in the HEX Education program and are eligible for entry to an RMIT undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in business (or related discipline) offered by the College of Business and Law.

• Complete eligible HEX programs and receive academic credit at RMIT
• When students enrol on an RMIT undergraduate business (or related) program, they can apply their HEX experience toward course credit.
• Gain course credits for electives, business option courses, or even matched innovation courses, depending on the student’s study plan.
