Plattner's new center of excellence
The University of Potsdam and the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) are jointly celebrating the opening of the new digital engineering faculty. This is the first time a privately financed faculty has been established at a public university. It is financed by the Hasso Plattner Foundation. The aim is to further develop the Hasso Plattner Institute into a university center of excellence in the field of digital engineering. As part of the expansion, four new Master's degree courses are planned in addition to the Master's in IT Systems Engineering: Digital Health, Smart Energy, Cyber-Security and Data Engineering.
