A Swiss university has become the latest higher education institute to begin allowing students to make payments using bitcoin. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts has entered a partnership with cryptocurrency brokerage firm Bitcoin Suisse AG, which will convert the payments into Swiss francs and bear the risk of currency fluctuations. Other universities that accept the cryptocurrency include King's College New York, the University of Nicosia in UK and the Cyprus's University of Cumbria.
