"Programme Status Notice"
This programme is currently undergoing academic restructuring and is not open for new intakes at this time.
The Master of Science in Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies represents one of the University’s flagship postgraduate initiatives in the domain of decentralised technologies, blockchain, and DLT, and has served as a foundational academic pillar for the Centre’s teaching, research, and industry engagement activities in this field.
The Centre is presently undertaking a comprehensive academic review of the programme’s structure, content, and delivery model in order to ensure that it continues to reflect evolving industry requirements, regulatory developments, pedagogical best practice, and the Centre’s long-term strategic direction. This redevelopment builds upon the academic legacy of the programme and is intended to strengthen its relevance and impact for future cohorts.
Accordingly, applications for admission to this programme are temporarily suspended while this review is underway. The Centre intends to reintroduce the programme in a revised and enhanced format once this process is concluded.
