New University of Malta Masters Blockchain Degree Now Available for Students

[XiongMengLee 24]

Malta, the Blockchain Island of the Mediterranean, has one of the most pro-blockchain systems ever created. They certify distributed ledger platforms; they regulate smart contracts and have frameworks for launching ICOs.

 

The most logical next step would be to have a master’s program in there as well.

 

The University of Malta is beginning its inaugural semester of their Masters Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology. This course starts this October, with around 35 students that have enrolled. This marks the only DLT-specific master’s program in the entire island nation, and one of a handful of programs around the world.

 

This is the latest step in an all-out charge Malta has been doing for the past two years to embrace anything and everything Blockchain.

 

Back in April 2017, Joseph Muscat, Malta’s Prime Minister, unveiled the plan for Malta to become a heavyweight in the Blockchain. The exact words of the Prime minister were “global trailblazer.” This is the unpopular choice nowadays with DLT, with most of the world governments lagging behind, or outright going against DLT as a whole.

 

The Maltese were quick to jump on the DLT train, with their Lawmakers quickly passing blockchain-friendly laws. Naturally, this caught the industry heavyweights’ gaze. Binance, the world’s largest per-volume crypto exchange, and OKEx both announced they would relocate to Malta.

 

Under a year of Malta making this move, and it’s already giving them a lot of profit. Crypto firms across the globe were packing up and coming to Malta, with more business on the way.

 

Joshua Ellul, Masters Program Direct and head of Malta’s Digital Innovation Authority, talked to the press about the matter. He stated that there was a high demand for his DLT students. Ellul elaborated that 15 companies have already contacted them, with high demand in the government-backed blockchain contracts, projects, and initiatives as well

Of course this will help introduce crypto throughout the world and the world will know the positive side or benefits of crypto itself.

[BTC Future 3946]

Blockchain development degree should be just a few months study for an experienced developer with knowledge of C++, python or Java. Almost everything is ready for them and from what I've read from developers friends, most are cloning Bitcoin and tweaking it to change a few aspects and calculations.

Also about Malta, from what I've heard their new government is not so crypto-friendly as the last one. It remains to be seen if they will keep being so active with blockchain projects as they have had in the past.

Well nothing new for me. As we know the country of Malta also called the “Blockchain Island” has a government authority  to certify distributed ledger platforms, regulations to manage smart contracts and a framework for launching ICOs. This is leading the crypto to new peeks.

This can be a benchmark as well as a reference for other regions so that the government makes regulations faster.  Because this proves that crypticurrency is a real development for the economy as well as in all sectors not only the industry but also education to prepare young people who are ready to face the future.

[babaji 1228]

I believe that its just Malta, that offers such courses. Even online portals such as udemy, you can find hundreds of courses on blockchain. How effective they are, of course it is a different issue, as you have to very familiar with a lot of programming knowledge to be successful in blockchain.

Blockchain technology is a great technology in this time. Because we can make faster transaction through it. Also it's more secure. In future it can replace the fiat currency system.

Having blockchain technology is not just about crypto, blockchain can be applied in many areas.

[bentayebsalah 2280]

It is good to have a master’s degree in Malta with a blockchain specialty, but is it universally recognized?
