Applied Blockchain

Welcome to the Bachelor of Applied Blockchain at the Australian Institute of Applied Blockchain (AIAB). Over three years, this course unlocks the application of blockchain technology.

Year two delves deeper, exploring blockchain value drivers and disruptive business modelling, alongside governance principles and IoT integration. Year three focuses on practical management of blockchain networks, addressing operational challenges and real-world applications in critical areas like food security and finance. Throughout the program, students develop portfolios and pitch blockchain applications, preparing them for a future at the forefront of this revolutionary technology. There are currently no exit points within the course.

Governance

Governance and Management

AIAB has a governance framework to ensure self assurance. The institute has the Director that  confers upon and delegates all the powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Board with respect to the operation and management of the Institute to the Governing Council. The Governing Council is a committee of the Board and is the formally constituted, peak corporate governing body of the Institute for the purposes of Relevant Regulations and reports to the Board.
 
The institute also has an Academic Board. The Academic Board is the academic governing body of the Institute, creating an important separation of powers between the Governing Council and the Academic Board. The Governing Council confers upon and delegates all the powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Governing Council with respect to academic matters to the Academic Board, including the power to further delegate as the Academic Board sees fit.
 
Both the Governing Council and the Academic Board have sub committees that assist in various parts of governance and  to do justice to their roles and responsibilities.  The CEO and Provost head the management team to ensure smooth operation of the Institute and report back to the Governing Council and Academic Board.  
 
The CEO and Provost provide leadership to the management team and report to the Governing Council and Academic Board.
