IAE Nantes issues its first bilingual Digital Credentials on the blockchain
Since 2017, IAE Nantes – Economics and Management (University of Nantes) provides graduates with their digital diploma certificate, secured via BCdiploma’s Digital Credentials solution, using blockchain for authentification.
Nicolas Antheaume, the project initiator, told us more in the last article of the IAE Nantes alumni platform:
“In 2017, we were the first public institution to offer its graduates unforgeable, shareable proof that they authentically graduated from the University of Nantes School of Economics & Management.
For the fourth consecutive year, we are pleased to offer this certification to our graduates with a few innovations this year. Several courses at IAE Nantes benefit for the first time from a bilingual certification, French and English.
Thus, the 2020 graduates of the Master in Innovation Management in France and Vietnam, the Master in Business Management and Administration, China-Asia program, and the Master in Money Banking Finance Insurance, Shipping trading program will now have their diplomas recognized internationally by the employers, at a time when diploma fraud is a widespread phenomenon.
In the future, we plan to expand this new bilingual service to all of our future graduates.”

Blockchain Credentials: graduates’ feedback
The feedback from the graduates shows the success of the blockchain certificate, strengthened by the fact that for the second year in a row the graduation ceremony had to be canceled.
“I uploaded my blockchain credential easily and securely using the blockchain certification key.
Honestly, I found this option very useful, especially in the current context. I was able to access my diploma quickly and send it to companies. In addition, having a QR code to verify the accuracy of the diploma is a great way to reassure our future recruiters. Very good idea!”

“I found the blockchain credential tool very easy to use. It was helpful for me to quickly obtain a certificate of study that I did not have while currently living overseas.
The document obtained was enough to certify to my employer that I had graduated from the IAE. As for the alumni platform, I haven’t yet discovered the full range of possibilities it offers but it’s great for creating an active community among alumni!”
