With 180,000 inhabitants, Potsdam is not only the largest city in Brandenburg, but also the seat of the state government. Idyllically situated along the River Havel, Potsdam is just a stone's throw away from the metropolis of Berlin, which can be easily reached by S-Bahn in 40 minutes. The city is characterised by its legacy as the former residence of the kings of Prussia with numerous palaces and parks. In 1990, UNESCO even included the cultural landscapes as the largest ensemble of German World Heritage Sites in the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity! Since 2019, Potsdam has also been a UNESCO film city in the Creative Cities Network.
Our university is located on Hermanswerder, a small island in Lake Templin, which is characterised above all by its idyllic, tranquil natural surroundings. The picturesque backdrop provides the ideal setting as a university and study location.
