Fachhochschule Potsdam

The Fachhochschule Potsdam is a University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, the capital of the German federal state of Brandenburg. It was founded in 1991 and teaching began in the 1991/92 winter semester.

All courses are modularized and are rewarded with internationally recognised credits. In addition to the bachelor degrees, almost all faculties also offer courses for Master degrees. Students can take part in courses at all universities in Brandenburg.

The Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in European Media Studies, are jointly offered by the college and the University of Potsdam. The Pappelallee college campus offers a degree programme in Interface Design which is almost unique in the whole of Germany.

As of 2015, the college offers courses in Architecture and Urban Development, Civil Engineering, Design, Information Sciences, Conservation and Restoration, Cultural Work, and Social Services.[3]

The Fachhochschule Potsdam is divided into two locations. Most of the courses take place at the Pappelallee Campus in northern Potsdam in the buildings of the former Adolf-Hitler Barracks of the Wehrmacht Infantry Regiment 9.

The laboratory and workshop buildings that opened in 2003 and the library, theatre workshop, and lecture theatres that went into service in 2009 offer opportunities for all fields of study.

The college house on the Alte Markt, which housed the departments for social services and information sciences, was demolished in 2018 as part of the redevelopment project.
