Malta, “The Blockchain Island”, has started since last year an initiative for being the ultimate destination for every blockchain business venture.

The program has three main sectors : Law, Business and Information Technology. Each sector studies blockchain from a different point of view but every student has classes from all of them. The ultimate goal for the university is to bring in the job market, graduates that are able to understand both technical and applied segments of blockchain technology. The graduates’ abilities to understand both segments, make them valuable assets for any company.
