The world's largest crypto exchange has signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of National and World Economy (UNWE), the largest economic university in Bulgaria. The crypto exchange's support is expressed in a framework agreement for the UNWE Master's Program – “Cryptoeconomics and Blockchain“ at the Department of “Economics“, designed to prepare students for the dynamic and rapidly developing digital asset sector.
The two-semester master's program will provide the most modern and up-to-date education in disciplines such as Cryptocurrencies and Financial Markets, Crypto Asset Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the Blockchain Environment, Digital Economy, Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Cryptoeconomics and others. The largest number of Master's degree candidates have applied for the specialty "Cryptoeconomics and Blockchain" - 80% of the total number, and at this moment the admission is still open.
The partnership was officially announced during a signing ceremony at the university with the participation of the Rector of the UNWE Prof. Dr. Dimitar Dimitrov and Veselin Georgiev, Country Manager of Binance for Bulgaria.
“The partnership with the UNWE is a key step in shaping the future of blockchain education and innovation in Bulgaria. With partnership and educational initiatives like this, we aim to empower the next generation of crypto leaders, laying the foundations for a sustainable industry with a promising future. Education is a symbol of acceptance, and cooperation like this ensures that Bulgaria joins the blockchain revolution“, shares Veselin Georgiev, Country Manager of Binance for Bulgaria.
Prof. Dimitrov emphasized the importance of the collaboration, sharing: “As the largest economic university in the country, UNWE has as its main goal to continuously upgrade and improve its academic programs in order to respond to global economic trends. We are aware of the responsibility we bear to our students and strive to educate future leaders, providing them with sustainable, innovative and future-oriented educational models. I sincerely believe that together with Binance we can position Bulgaria as a leader in the field of blockchain education and innovation. Together we pave the way for future tech pioneers in the world of the digital economy and prove that we are consistently becoming a center for innovative education”.
The program, which will begin in January 2025, reflects the UNWE strategy for integrating modern technologies into education. UNWE is exploring plans to launch a bachelor's program in “Cryptoeconomics“ during the 2025-2026 academic year, which will further solidify its role as a regional leader in blockchain education.
