The University of Potsdam was founded in 1991. The University of Potsdam is the largest institution of higher education in the state of Brandenburg and is the most beautifully situated of all academic institutions in Germany. It has developed into an address for modern research and instruction, as well as a well-developed network for the flow and exchange of information between the academic, scientific, and business sectors. Five faculties form the pillars of the university: the Philosophical Faculty, the Faculty of Life Sciences, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, and the Law Faculty. Numerous external institutions in the region, especially those in the area of natural science, give the university its unique profile.

New, practically-oriented and interdisciplinary courses of study, such as polymer science, Jewish studies, administration, the geosciences, nutrition, and patholinguistics, are trademarks of the university which make them attractive both in Germany and abroad. The teacher training program is a further area that stands out in the university's offerings. Great care is also set on providing a comprehensive set of services in the areas of language learning, computers, as well as culture and sports, all of which are accessible to the entire student body.
