Blockchain
Our exclusive Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) offers high quality education tailored for industry leaders. The course is taught by world-renowned professors across academic disciplines: Law, Informatics, Economics and Finance. This interdisciplinary approach is necessary to unveil the true potential of this emerging technology and is unique to our programme.
After two successful editions in 2019 and 2020 (in spite of the global pandemic), the CAS programme gets updated to offer a complete immersion in the field. Send us a query early if you want receive more information and inscribe to the 2021 programme.
Course facts
Blockchain is on everyone’s lips ‒ not least because the Crypto Valley stretching from Zug to Zurich is one of the global centres for this technology. But what is the story behind the new «Internet of Value»? What can this technology already do? What are its strengths, weaknesses, risks and areas of potential?
The CAS in Blockchain at the University of Zurich looks at these questions and in doing so addresses the topic at a uniquely wide-ranging level: computer scientists, lawyers, economists and financial specialists from the University of Zurich have joined forces to teach participants the technical basics as well as provide them with legal tools and economic knowledge about the applications. In doing so, they are able to call on first-hand experience from academic blockchain projects, consulting activities and company start-ups.
Target audience
Professional practitioners who want to receive an in-depth insight into the various facets of blockchain technologies and gain an edge in knowledge based on relevant research findings.
Course duration
Course days: September to December 2021, on Fridays and Saturdays
Project work: November - December 2021
