I've heard of Princeton's MOOC (https://www.coursera.org/course/bitcointech) but not this one.
Master of Science? Is there a preview of how difficult this is going to be? Ok. Reading through the FAQ (http://digitalcurrency.unic.ac.cy/about-the-program/frequently-asked-questions/), it seems like no technical proficiency or prior knowledge is required? Quote Anyone interested in learning more about digital currency from anywhere in the world can enroll in the MOOC. There are no admissions requirements for the MOOC, though proficiency in the English language is needed for a student to be successful in completing the course Title: Re: University of Nicosia's, 5th free MOOC on Bitcoin with Antonopoulos, starts 15/2 Post by: Phoenix on February 11, 2016, 01:09:51 PM Yes, there's no technical prerequisites to the MOOC, we take it step by step so anyone can access and learn the basics (and beyond).
As long as you have basic computing skills, can handle English material and study it, you shouldn't have an issue pulling through. You can take the individual session quizzes as many times as you like to improve yourself, during the process, and we're all there to help with any questions that remain. On the Master's degree itself, you can choose whether to go on a more technically demanding "development pathway" or a more business related one, so there's space for either. We have students from several disciplines, including computer science, law, economics, political sciences, finance, etc and most manage just fine. |
