Abstract: Blockchain popularity is growing every day and its potential is seen in various domains. One field of application is the educational system, where the blockchain technology could be used in several areas like admission, student records, exams and assessments, certifications etc. A distributed ledger is used to store securely all the transactions related to the educational activities. The aim of this paper is to review the applications of blockchain technology in education, with the focus on higher education. Furthermore, the architecture of a system to be used in Bucharest University of Economic Studies is proposed.
