Learn to critically evaluate decentralised finance (DeFi) and blockchain applications and strengthen your understanding of digital finance and Web3.0’s impact on your organisation.

Get under the skin of the crypto economy and explore the potential of DeFi technologies. With guidance from Professor Markos Zachariadis and Dr. Aseem Pahuja, this course explores how DeFi and blockchain applications can transform organisations and provide a foundation for new business models and value chains in finance and beyond.

By challenging yourself to think critically and leverage relevant academic theories, you will begin to build a high-level understanding of crypto that will help you interrogate decentralised financial technologies and their applications effectively.

Course Topics:

Whichever industry you work in, the ‘mechanics of decentralised trust’ affect not just products and services, but challenge entirely how economic activity is organised across businesses.
It’s therefore essential for decision-makers to have a solid and strategically-grounded understanding of the crypto-economy and its potential to transform organisations and entire industries in financial services and beyond.
To help decision and policy-makers navigate Web3.0 and DeFi technologies, this course explores theories and knowledge from the fields of economics, strategic management and information systems.
