The course is designed for all those who wish to acquire IT and business skills in the blockchain technology and will particularly appeal to both IT experts and business developers, including Information, Digital, Management and Business Administration professionals who seek an in-depth understanding of the blockchain technology and crypto currencies. It will provide an understanding of the full range of potential blockchain use cases and business models. As more and more blockchain-based applications evolve, an in-depth knowledge of the underlying technologies (such as Ethereum or Hyperledger) is becoming indispensable. Equipped with this knowledge, one can leverage blockchain opportunities to build their company’s digital future.
The examination consists of one individual paper where every participant submits their own paper. Multiple topics for a paper will be provided and participants will be able to choose one topic. Partly these topics cover more business-oriented questions or, alternatively, more IT-related questions. Time to write the paper: 8 weeks (after having finished the 2nd week of the course).
Basic IT knowledge is necessary. Knowledge in the area of IT programming and development is not necessary but nevertheless helpful in following this course. Each participant must bring a laptop to work on practical exercises during the course.

The participants will learn about blockchain fundamentals and the breadth of use cases that allow for potential application of the blockchain technology. Further, ecosystems and consortiums will be presented. Basic technological building blocks will be presented in an overview over the technology. Here, further modules will provide more depth.
In this module, the participants will learn the key frameworks in both the domain of enterprise blockchains and public blockchain. The former concerns the enterprise context, and the latter the environment of crypto currencies. Specific features such as consortiums and Initial Coin Offerings are also explained.
The goal is to discuss security and integrity issues with the participants. Data protection is currently a key facet of IT systems, and therefore, it needs to be reconciled with blockchain technology. Participants will learn about pseudonymity in public blockchain systems. Furthermore this module will provide deeper knowledge in cryptography, mining and consensus algorithms. These topics are primarily relevant in public blockchain architectures; however, cryptography is also a key element in the enterprise context. Additionally, students will learn about the scalability of blockchain solutions and game theoretical approaches.
Through this module, participants will learn about the “tokenization of everything”. Blockchain technology allows the taking of assets and distributing them efficiently across a large number of owners. This process is being done for start-ups through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Albeit limited, tokenization will be applicable to a large breadth of assets in the future (e.g. real estate, machinery). Therefore it is important for the participants to understand this upcoming trend.
This module covers how blockchain-applications can be qualified from a legal perspective. Participants will learn how blockchain technology fits in the current scope of the German and European legal framework and what approaches for new legislation are currently discussed. The fields of law discussed during the module will have a focus on financial regulatory law, such as banking regulation, anti-money laundering law as well as capital markets law. In addition to that, the participants will also discuss how blockchain-tokens can be qualified under German private law.
Participants learn about the application of blockchain technology in business. To this end, use cases from finance, banking and insurance will be presented and explained. The technology stack used for these examples will be explained in detail.
Participants learn about the application of technology in non-financial fields such as logistics, the Internet of Things (IoT), or Industrie 4.0. Of course, these use cases also involve financial transactions and smart contracts. However, in ecosystems related to logistics, IoT and manufacturing, finance will only be one aspect to consider. The participants will also learn to the technology stack and learn how to evaluate use cases.
The goal of the first part of the day is to explain Ethereum, one of the largest development frameworks. Ethereum works in the public domain and can also be utilized in private settings. The participants will learn how to interact with the Ethereum Virtual Machine through many practical hands-on examples. In the second part of the day the Hyperledger framework will be presented. Hyperledger is one of the largest blockchain development frameworks used both with companies and in a B2B context. It is mostly applied in consortia with broad ranging use cases. With the help of many practical hands-on examples, the participants will learn how to interact with Hyperledger.
