Five universities across three Spanish-speaking countries, Spain, Argentina and Venezuela, are now offering crypto courses, reports one of the crypto-news outlets.
Asia is normally regarded as the world’s cryptocurrency hub with centers, courses, and crypto educational establishments on the rise, where Japan, Thailand and South Korea are leading the way.
However, Asia isn’t the only continent taking steps to educate its crypto communities. There are numerous courses now being run by private schools, companies, and universities across the globe. The new courses for Spanish speakers offer studies in Bitcoin, Ethereum, cryptocurrencies, blockchains, initial coin offerings (ICOs), smart contracts, DAOs, and crypto-economics.
In Europe, Spain’s capital Madrid offers a new venue for crypto studies. The Universidad de Alcalá is not only a world heritage site it is also one of Europe’s oldest universities dating back to 1293. The University of Alcalá is especially renowned in the Spanish-speaking world for its annual presentation of the highly prestigious Cervantes Prize, the most prestigious and remunerative award given for Spanish-language literature.
The university now offers a course entitled “Master in Ethereum, Blockchain Technology and Crypto-Economics,” and promotes the study as being for “professionals, students or those interested in learning about blockchain-based technologies from an integrative perspective of technical, economic, social and legal aspects.”
Not to be outdone, another Madrid university has opened its doors to cryptocurrency enthusiasts and professionals. Universidad Europea Madrid, the European University of Madrid, is a private university with more than 16,000 students. The school offers a 6-month postgraduate diploma in Bitcoin and blockchain which starts in October.
Across the world in South America, struggling Venezuela, along with Argentina have both recently started offering courses. In hyperinflation struck Venezuela, Bitcoin for some is the only way of putting food on the table due to the state of the country’s national currency — bolivar, which is now worth practically nothing.
The Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administración (IESA) a private non-profit business school with 3 campuses, which offers a 60hr summer course called “Cryptocurrency, blockchain and business in the new economy, opportunities and challenges for management and business.”
In Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital, the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA), the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, is a private university focusing on information technology, business and engineering studies offering a course of 3 months for newcomers to cryptocurrencies:
“It is designed especially for people who start from scratch or with very basic knowledge and who want to learn the reasons, mechanics and disruptive opportunities at a monetary, technological level and as a form of investment that is in the present and future in the world of crypto-economies.”
