The University of Potsdam is a public university and, with around 19,650 students, the largest institution of higher education in the state of Brandenburg. Founded in 1991, it is now one of Germany's most research-intensive young universities, ranked #1 in Germany in the THE Young University Ranking 2024. Seven faculties – from the Law Faculty and the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Science and the Digital Engineering Faculty run jointly with the Hasso Plattner Institute – cover a broad range of subjects, including Brandenburg's only university-based teacher training. 

Studies take place at three locations: Am Neuen Palais right next to Sanssouci Park, in Golm in the region's largest science park, and at Griebnitzsee near Babelsberg.
