The London School of Economics, one of the leading academic institutions for higher learning in the world, is the latest university to offer a course on cryptocurrencies. For only £ 1,800 and approximately sixty hours of learning, you can also be a certified academic crypto.
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has launched a new online certificate course entitled "Cryptocurrency Investment and Disruption", led by Dr. Carsten Sørensen, Associate Professor of Information Systems and Innovation. LSE has joined the growing list of top-tier institutions offering encryption classes such as Cambridge, NYU, Northwestern, Stanford, Wharton and Georgetown, among others.
The new LSE cryptographic educational option seems to be quite accessible, since there are no prerequisites for the course and its cost is not unreasonable for only £ 1,800. It starts on August 14, 2018, and will take six weeks (not including orientation) with an estimated commitment of around seven to ten hours per week. This course is also certified by the CPD Certification Service of the United Kingdom, if it is relevant to you.
In explaining the rationality behind the course, the institution states that, "for more than a hundred years, the motto of LSE has been 'to understand the causes of things'. This online certificate course combines practical cryptoasset knowledge with the theoretical thinking leadership for which LSE is recognized. "In practice, the listed classes seem to offer very practical investment skills, such as how to interact with cryptocurrency exchanges, how to use wallets and how to evaluate the analysis of an ICO (initial offer of coins).
In a broader perspective, students will also explore how cryptocurrencies will shape the future of money, markets and industries. And the course is intended to provide the information, knowledge and frameworks of blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies, necessary to understand how they work and the implications for business and the economy. It is for her that to be safe, the institution adds that "you will not be offered investment advice in cryptocurrencies or financial advice or investment of any kind."
