I attended the 'Digital Assets and Blockchain for Digital Finance' course in January and it was a really wonderful experience.  The course was well structured and it was designed for every participant, irrespective of their exposure to the subject.  Special shout out to Dr. David Lee, who made sure every one of his sessions were a joyous experience.  He was grateful to share his deep knowledge of blockchain technologies with us!  If you are looking to sharpen your skills around blockchain and its application to the financial industry, I strongly recommend this course.  Thanks to Emir and team for organizing this.

The 'Digital Assets and Blockchain for Digital Finance' course at NUS was truly a transformative experience. The curriculum was comprehensive and covered all the latest trends and developments in the blockchain industry. The instructors were experts in the field and provided real-world examples that helped me understand the practical applications of blockchain. Pre-course coding bootcamp was a truly hands-on project that I enjoyed to build my understanding of smart contract design. Our hands-on discussions with peers from diverse backgrounds added an additional layer of learning and opened my eyes to new possibilities. I recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills in blockchain and digital assets.

This course was an invaluable opportunity to learn from the first-hand experience of the instructors and guest speakers who have experience leading the implementation of blockchain projects in industry, and investing in some of the top blockchain companies. My classmates each brought diverse and rich experiences to the candid and free-flowing discussions in class - ranging from companies with big tech experience, to financial institutions and government agencies. Some of the more experienced classmates previously held C-Suite positions in banks, or come with decades of experience in the financial services and capital markets industry. As someone early in my career, it was such an eye opening experience learning from not just the instructors, but also the classmates. After completing the course, I immediately saw opportunities to apply the knowledge back at work on Monday.
