The blockchain and fintech programmes were launched by the University of Liechtenstein on the initiative of Bank Frick and have already made a name for themselves, with a focus on the practical communication of knowledge on applying technological innovation to existing financial systems.
Students gain in-depth knowledge of the new networked systems and their impact on new business models and value chains. The courses cover a broad spectrum of practical knowledge and offer a comprehensive overview of technological, legal and tax issues; they are taught in German.
