Since its founding 32 years ago, the University of Potsdam has excelled in research and teaching and is well positioned both on a national and international scale. Achieving this under consistently difficult economic conditions speaks for the quality and motivation of their professors, research, and administrative staff.

The university aims to play an active role among Germany’s leading research universities on a sustained basis, taking top positions in their areas of studies. This is the only way to attract the brightest and most-talented minds to Brandenburg and to offer them career perspectives.
