Zurich’s University of Applied Sciences Launches Unique Bitcoin Course in 2025

The University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration Zurich is set to introduce an innovative Bitcoin course in March 2025, as reported by 20 Minuten. This course, distinct in Europe, is designed for individuals aiming to incorporate Bitcoin into new business ventures. Despite its substantial fee of 9,950 francs (approximately $10,794) for a 16-day program, the course offers 15 ECTS credits and covers a comprehensive curriculum on Bitcoin and its ecosystem.
Participants will explore the fundamental economic principles of Bitcoin, its impact on the economy, and delve into the technicalities of blockchain technology. The program also examines current regulatory and compliance issues surrounding Bitcoin, alongside wealth management strategies tailored for the cryptocurrency. A comparative analysis between Bitcoin and altcoins is included to highlight Bitcoin’s unique position in the digital asset space. Lastly, the course will investigate specific business models and opportunities that Bitcoin presents.
Despite its uniqueness and comprehensive coverage, the course’s high cost has sparked criticism among the Bitcoin community, with some expressing a preference for self-education and direct investment in Bitcoin over enrolling in the expensive program.
