Where certain countries are in the process of adopting digital assets, the University of the Hespérides is set to make history by launching Spain’s first master’s degree emphasizing specifically Bitcoin starting from April 28, 2025.
The university has come up with a ten-month program targeting investors, engineers, legal professionals, business tycoons, and basically anyone who’s willing to learn about the most demanding cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. The lingo of the program will be totally in Spanish, offering 60 ECTS credits.
The purpose of this program is to help an individual learn everything about Bitcoin, from basic to advanced. Multiple companies have built their models around this technology but have been facing issues due to a lack of professionals specializing in Bitcoin or in cryptocurrency.
The best part about this course isn’t the theory but the practicals, a space to participate in engaging in workshops, self-custody, node operations, POW mining, privacy practices, and strategies about tax. To make it more interesting, participants will receive cherries like a Blockstream Jade hardware wallet and a book penned by the program’s director, Álvaro D. María.
Every minor detail included in this program makes it more special and exciting. Professors included in this program are renowned economist Juan Ramón Rallo and Álvaro D. María, who is well-known for his seminal work The Philosophy of Bitcoin, are in charge of the master’s. Leading voices from businesses like Jan3 and BTC Inc. are part of the teaching team, which brings practical knowledge straight into the (virtual) classroom.
This is not it; just like any other university’s programs, participants will get an opportunity to strengthen their professional networks in the crypto world. Because the university has kept the future of the participants in mind and built bridges to the job market by partnering with Bitcoin-focused companies.
Coming to the main part, the duration of the program will be 10 months, but those seeking a quicker route can go for a 6-month postgraduate version as well. The university hasn’t disclosed the fees yet but is offering financial plans. Applications, document reviews, and admissions interviews are all part of the selective enrollment process.
