About This Project
Blockchain acts as a decentralized system that exists between all permitted parties, there is no need to pay intermediaries and it saves time and reduces conflict. It is undeniably, faster, cheaper, and more secure than traditional systems. Our research will assess the benefits of its incorporation in Higher Education and the extent to which it can improve transparency for students and staff, increase privacy and security, protect academic records, etc.
