University of Potsdam

With around 22,000 students, the University of Potsdam is the largest in the state of Brandenburg. The institution is spread over three locations in Potsdam. There are also several small buildings at various locations in the city.

170 degree programs are offered. One expression of the university's internationality is its good position in the annual Humboldt Ranking. Numerous co-operations exist with Berlin scientific institutions.

A Network for Education, Science and Knowledge Transfer

Since its founding in 1991, the University of Potsdam has achieved excellent results in teaching and research and has achieved a good position in national and international comparisons. The fact that this was achieved under consistently difficult economic conditions speaks for the extraordinary qualifications and motivation of our professors, academic staff, and administration.

Now it is important to maintain and further expand the position we have achieved. We want to play a permanent role in the concert of German-speaking universities with strong research interests and take top positions in our profile areas. This is the only way to attract the brightest minds to Brandenburg and offer them professional prospects here.

We are convinced that the investments made today in teaching and research will pay off for Brandenburg in the near future. This is one of the reasons why we are committed to providing qualified training for urgently needed skilled workers and ensuring that the latest scientific findings are quickly put into practice.

It is particularly important to us to gain strong partners in politics, business, and society in this way. When we report here about our work and our goals, we not only want to provide information but also arouse interest and point out points of contact so that our network for education, science, and knowledge transfer gains density and stability - for the benefit of Brandenburg.
