University of Applied Sciences Potsdam

The University of Applied Sciences Potsdam was founded in 1991 and is today particularly committed to advancing social development through the interdisciplinary combination of its range of subjects. Under the guiding principle of "research-based learning" students can familiarize themselves with the methods of application-oriented research at an early stage. Experienced, dedicated faculty, staff, well-equipped laboratories, workshops, and event rooms, a modern library, and interactive communication and learning platforms provide excellent conditions for efficient, hands-on study.

Not least, the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam also benefits from its location: Potsdam is one of Germany‘s most important science locations, a city of culture and nestled in a beautiful lake landscape. And the center of Berlin can be reached in about 30 minutes.

From the host: The Potsdam University of Applied Sciences does not have its own halls of residence or accommodation facilities. The housing market in Potsdam and Berlin is tight. It is not always easy to find a flat. Start looking for a flat as soon as you have been admitted as an exchange student.
