The top universities in the world are offering advanced blockchain courses and training

Cryptocurrency is coming to the mainstream market, hence, the number of use cases for blockchain are also rising. Naturally, as blockchain education slowly increases, so have the number of universities and global institutes that are offering blockchain courses. Here, we have listed the top global universities in the world that are offering blockchain courses in 2023.

Delft University of Technology       

Blockchain technology represents a fundamental change in the way we think about computing. Economic incentives, security by design, and smart contracts are just some of the ideas that underpin this new and disruptive technology. TU Delft is therefore proud to offer a certificate in blockchain technology. To qualify, students must successfully complete three advanced computer science master courses:

Dublin City University        

With its roots in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Blockchain technology provides a distributed non-repudiable ledger. It works on decentralized platforms and offers significant advantages for business operations in terms of transparency, elimination of third parties, cost reduction, micropayments, cryptographic security, and permanent transactions. Blockchain enhances the speed and transparency of transactions along complex supply chains while reducing costs. It optimizes back and middle business processes and transactions, augmenting security, reporting, and regulatory and compliance profiles. This part-time MSc in Blockchain (Distributed Ledger Technology) can be completed online over two years.

Duke University       

This course is designed to provide students with perspective and hands-on experience by creating a simple Blockchain contract as well as how to converse on a practical basis about what Blockchain can and cannot do. This understanding is among the most sought after in today's job market. Participants will also develop an understanding of Decentralized Finance, how it differs from traditional financial services, and where the field is likely to go.

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland)

This course provides an introduction to distributed ledger technology, blockchains and cryptocurrencies, and their potential applications in finance and banking. The course covers the basics of cryptography and its applications to cryptocurrencies; historical examples to centralized cryptocurrencies; foundations of modern decentralized cryptocurrencies; Byzantine fault tolerant consensus; mechanics of the Bitcoin platform including storage, mining, wallets, etc.; alternative platforms, including Ethereum, XRP Ledger and EOSIO; smart contracts; potential applications of decentralized ledgers in finance and their pros and cons.

Eötvös Loránd University

Marlowe is a high-level, domain-specific language (DSL) for writing financial contracts on the blockchain. It is defined by an executable reference semantics in Haskell, and is implemented on the EUTxO-based Cardano blockchain. This couse will introduce Marlowe and describe its semantics and implementation and give examples, including some from the ACTUS standard for financial contracts.

Understand smart contracts, a core idea and computational model of blockchain that enables automation, autonomy, scalability, and transparency. Have an understanding and working knowledge of emerging blockchain technology.
