The University of the Hespérides in Spain has launched the first Spanish master’s degree in Bitcoin.

This master’s degree will be starting from April 28, 2025. It is also fully online and aims to provide professionals with a broad knowledge base for managing the Bitcoin industry.

The course will be covering the technical, economic, legal, and philosophical aspects of the cryptocurrency.

This master’s degree in Bitcoin focuses on examining the cryptocurrency from diverse perspectives.

Its aim is to close the education gap and “train professionals who can engage with Bitcoin responsibly and knowledgeably.”

Students will learn about the philosophy, history, economics, technology, regulation, and business development of Bitcoin through a blend of theoretical learning and practical concepts.

The course curriculum includes masterclasses, case studies, and seminars led by experts operating in the Bitcoin sector.

Some of the specialists who will be teaching on the program include Kristyna Mazankova from The Bitcoin Conference, Manuel Polavieja, an expert in monetary theory, Kilian Rausch from Boltz Exchange, Manu Ferrari from Money on Chain, and Sergio Fernández from NegociosTV.

The program will analyze several key questions: What makes Bitcoin different from other virtual currencies? What are the economic and technical principles that underpin its operation? How will legislatures shape its use? And what are the most in-demand skills in organizations that work with Bitcoin?

This program is particularly ideal for entrepreneurs, engineers, economists, lawyers, and investors seeking to build expertise in this area.

The master’s degree is backed by partnerships with BTC Inc, Jan3, BTC Consulting 360, ‘Watch Out, Bitcoin,’ NegociosTV, and the Institute of Philosophy and Economics of Bitcoin (IFEB).

These partnerships help to keep the courses relevant to the industry's demands and provide students with a possible path to employment.

Juan Ramón Rallo, Dean of the Undergraduate School and a specialist in Austrian economic theory and Bitcoin, highlighted the program's philosophical underpinnings: “Bitcoin is the most important monetary revolution in decades—and it will shape our future. We must be ready to use it to defend our freedoms against the State.”

The master's degree is fully in Spanish and online, catering to international students and working professionals who want to further their education without having to relocate.

This setup also allows people from Spanish-speaking countries around the world to access specialized education on Bitcoin.
