There is almost nothing you cannot learn for free/on your own.
However, sometimes it is vital to have good teachers.

Better to a master in information technology related rather than just on digital currency. The bitcoin businesses is not going to employ you because you completed a crypto master, they take you in because you are skilled.
I advise against. The total cost of the degree is €11,760, and you are only paying for distant learning!
You should do the free MOOC and look at the courses that interest you. They list recommended readings per course, study them if interested.

Without detailed evidence to the contrary I see this as just a money grab. Businesses often realize they can generate some revenue by being the Bitcoin first in their industry/field. "nobody is offering Bitcoin related degrees so lets offer some" kind of thinking. I would have more respect for a "bootcamp" type program which offers to get experienced developers up to speed on bitcoin specific issues ("Mastering Bitcoin for the Java Programmer"), tan a diploma mill cranking out a new diploma for the "fad of the year". I would love to be proved wrong but without solid evidence to the contrary I see it as high risk.
Nobody has an opinion about it ?

Hello everyone,
I am hesitating to register for the MSc Digital currency, based in Cyprus. (http://digitalcurrency.unic.ac.cy/)
My objective is to work later in a bitcoin related company. I have a background in economy/finance from France and I am looking for the best way to do something related to bitcoin.
Pros :
- the first Master related to bitcoin, and digital currency in general
- Andreas Antonopoulos is one of the lecturer
- you can do it entirely online
- you can pay tuitions with bitcoins !
Cons :
- the University of Nicosia is not the best university in the world
- i am afraid it will be only a vague introduction and not enough technical
- it is quite expensive for an online program
- the best way to work in bitcoin industry, is maybe to do your normal job applied in a bitcoin company
