In response, universities have started to develop research centers, laboratories and even entire departments dedicated to these topics. In fact, 42% of the top 50 universities worldwide offer at least one course related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, with 22% offering multiple courses. Moreover, 70% of the universities were found to have already included at least some information related to cryptocurrencies in course materials. It is also worth mentioning that cryptocurrency- and blockchain-related material is also being taught outside of IT and programming courses and has been included in anthropology and financial courses. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-12453 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='6 cybersecurity tools to know about in 2019'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/6-cybersecurity-tools-to-know-about-in-2019\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/6-cybersecurity-tools-to-know-about-in-2019-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11456\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11456'>\n\t\t\t\t6 cybersecurity tools to know about in 2019\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Video: how banking will change after COVID-19'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/video-how-banking-will-change-after-covid-19\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/placeholder.-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-14995\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-14995'>\n\t\t\t\tVideo: how banking will change after COVID-19\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Infographic: the impact of investing in HR'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/infographic-the-impact-of-investing-in-hr\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/infographic-talentmanagementroi-v2-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12382\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12382'>\n\t\t\t\tInfographic: the impact of investing in HR\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent study, well-known universities around the world are facing an increased demand from students for courses and information on cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
