Currently, there are very broad knowledge about Blockchain in some many countries because of its wide applications in every sectors. However, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, because of our difference and view when it comes to this industry, some countries aren't friendly with, so the education hasn't spread around the globe though an average person must have heard about it somewhere in the internet or by friends.
If you are looking for education about cryptocurrencies, this forum is the best place to start, follow by YouTube and you may refer to some Idemy courses online. They have been helpful especially in trading and general knowledge.

Its great to hear that you want to learn about Cryptocurrencies but unfortunately there
is no specific course in that subject. Cryptocurrency itself is a general topic covering many technological fields.

I posted some info over on the Off Topic board 2 days ago about FREE education available from The Saylor Academy,
this might start you off on your ambition > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310473.msg56128621#msg56128621

Some of the courses would help with the learning of Crypto or at least would be relevant.

[pinggoki]

The subject that might matches in cryptocurrency is economics, and I believe that there are some countries in which cryptocurrency is discussing as a major subject in the Junior High School. If you are looking for some seminars and if you have any questions about cryptocurrency you can ask that in this forum and many people will reply to you. I've started here in this forum and gain a lot of knowledge here because of those people who is answering my questions whenever I am asking.

Op, I think your question has been answered with these reference's, normal cryptocurrency can be well understood by using YouTube's to study, and it's obvious that no university can give different information Google normally render, researching about cryptocurrency  can take place perfectly with Google research and couple with the links render here.

This is really helpful, we might not learn cryptocurrency at a university but there are lots of people sharing their knowledge about cryptocurrency online, Youtube is the perfect one that you can learn by watching. You can also learn by reading and gaining knowledge in this forum. There are lots of people that want to know cryptocurrency, they are seeing that lots of people are getting rich by investing in some project or just buying some of the tokens and holding it for a long time.

Coursera (Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies) Offered By Princeton University that provides courses for cryptocurrency, I think this could help you.

[2double0]

Give a look to Khan Academy, they had been teaching well about crypto. Next you can find many worthy ebooks on Amazon and eBay. I don't remember the subjects honestly because I only read their trial copies and never bought any books to learn about crypto because internet and this forum were enough for me to get answers to my questions.

As the above said.

https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/money-and-banking/bitcoin/v/bitcoin-what-is-it

Khan Academy has a good basic series of lectures on bitcoin.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptocurrency

Coursera's course is more comprehensive. The way its organized and presented is a bit obfuscated and counter intuitive. Which makes it difficult to learn and understand the lessons.

https://www.cryptologie.net/links

I haven't had a chance to read through the above links yet. They appear to be a good resource on elliptic curve cryptography which bitcoin utilizes.

[tabas]

In addition, udemy and edx.
They are not really degrees though but it's more of a specialty and expertise that you can add as your skill. And that means you can study other courses while studying them at the same time.

There are a lot of educational youtube videos out there that will give you a good idea as to how cryptocurrency works and it's technology, plus it's economic relevance and all. I'm not so sure if there is a specific lecture for it though but I do hope so considering the growing demand of the people to know more about it.

I was also thinking of Khan Academy but I'm not sure if they really are so I opted to not include them in my reply, though it's good since they're the leading education provider right now that is online and free.

This is a good one, they just received a donation from Elon Musk so you can expect that they are a quality educational website. If you are planning for college, Economics related courses might discuss the theoretical or general impact of cryptocurrency but it will not be the main focus. Ebooks do help, and if you are short on budget to buy one, you can get free ebooks at zLibrary. If you want the technical aspect then go to a STEM related courses.

Thank U sir It was great help for me. I search the subject but I couldn't find and now I am willing to study Bsc. CSIT.

[Ucy]

I'd prefer to study things like that online rather than traveling with lots of money to learn them, but if you can afford traveling then make sure you travel to the righ place/school.

 I think there are couple of online schools that teach about cryptocurrency, but I'm not sure if what they teach are good enough for their students, or whether the students find the teachings very useful/helpful for advancing their interests in true cryptocurrency.
 
You should be looking for right knowledge that will be very helpful in your crypto journey. Such knowledge must focus mostly on right development, participation, improvement of well decentralized (not centralized) cryptocurrency.

[finaleshot2016]

Economics is being taught to any university and you can learn the basics about the market, by that, we can easily learn how cryptocurrency works. There are learning platforms like Coursera where we can learn more deeply about cryptocurrency. Actually, there's a bunch of platforms where we can learn about cryptocurrency and can give you a certification that can be used in a real job.

In my experience, I only learned cryptocurrency here in bitcointalk.org, it's really a great platform where we can learn a lot.

[AicecreaME]

I would recommend buying a book, it's much cheaper rather than applying to a certain University and take a course about cryptocurrency. Well, I mean it's easier to study cryptocurrency all by yourself since it has no complicated mathematics formula, no science stuff, just pure application on everything you could read in a book by a cryptocurrency geek.

But anyways, it depends on your likings, also in the way you'll easily absorb all of the things you should know about cryptocurrency.

[Casdinyard]

I've heard of schools offering such course (not sure if it is course or subject), but I think this forum and other online resources would be enough to learn things about this industry. There's this forum in which you could interact with other people who are knowledgeable in such technology. You may also try engaging to activities involving cryptos. So I guess it would be somewhat a waste of money if you will seek subjects or course perhaps related to cryptocurrencies. Self-study is more advisable because in such way, you will be able to explore different things and key concepts in this technology. Also, I guess majority of the people here in this industry have gained knowledge thru self-exploration of cryptocurrencies which makes it a good way to do so.

[GreenStox]

Unfortunately for now there is no special place to study cryptocurrency like schools in general, so the average person learns through their own experience that goes directly to this industry.
Of course at first it will be difficult because there is no one to guide and give direction where to start.
but I think in this forum you can get a lot of things.
be it about projects, predictions, speculation, trading, economics, airdrop bounties and many more.
you just have to take your time to read more.

[AakZaki]

Op, I think your question has been answered with these reference's, normal cryptocurrency can be well understood by using YouTube's to study, and it's obvious that no university can give different information Google normally render, researching about cryptocurrency  can take place perfectly with Google research and couple with the links render here.

Google and Youtube are pretty good places to find all kinds of knowledge and will be very helpful for now. Studying in person without having to wait at university might be better. In this forum there will also be more references that can be learned. In fact, this forum is a center of knowledge about cryptocurrency and blockchain. Being active in this forum will make knowledge about crypto and blockchain even better.

I myself learned about crypto myself, the most important thing is not lazy to read and keep trying.
