The Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) is unparalleled on the German university landscape. HPI offers unique innovation-oriented and practically-based Bachelor’s and Master’s of Science degree programs in "IT-Systems Engineering." In addition, HPI offers a supplemental study program in the innovation method of Design Thinking. Academically structured as the independent Faculty of Digital Engine...ering at the University of Potsdam, HPI unites excellent research and teaching with the advantages of a privately financed institute and a tuition-free study program.
The HPI in Potsdam is the only university faculty in Germany where a degree program in "IT Systems Engineering" is completely and privately financed—made possible by founder Prof. Hasso Plattner. Plattner is co-founder of the software giant SAP, where he serves as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Plattner, who is one of Germany’s most important private patrons of the sciences, has thus enabled a unique university education in IT system engineering.
One of the HPI"s major goals is to become an elite, world-class educational facility. The institute already offers an optimal study and work environment and cooperates very closely with the business community. The HPI also maintains strong international contacts, for example with Stanford University, the American ivy league university in Palo Alto, California.
Reflecting the needs of the industry, the educational program at HPI is provided by a total of twelve professors and more than 200 senior researchers, lecturers, and research assistants. 500 highly gifted young people are currently enrolled in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree program in IT system engineering.
Hasso Plattner Institute holds an unique position on the landscape of German universities. Research and teaching are concentrated in the area of IT systems engineering. The highly ranked Bachelor, Master and PhD degree programs have a high practical and innovation orientation. Design Thinking spans a bridge between Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam and Hasso Plattner Institute of Design in Stanford.
The HPI has committed itself to offering a university program in the field of IT systems engineering that meets the highest standards of research and teaching, thus enabling its graduates to assume a leading role in the IT research crucial to industry and society, contributing to the development of computer science internationally, and, in close cooperation with partners from academic research and industry, advancing the engineering discipline of IT Systems Engineering, using its capabilities to address major societal challenges and to promote the implementation of innovative solutions in industry and society in collaboration with other stakeholders.
In this sense, our further specific objectives are to motivate and inspire young talents to pursue a degree in information technology, to provide students the latest knowledge, practical skills and ability for cross-disciplinary collaboration under the best possible conditions, to complement our study program in computer science by fostering social skills (soft skills), innovation and entrepreneurship, to introduce suitable students early to an internationally successful research career, to produce highly qualified specialists who are willing and able to assume social responsibility in a complex and fast-changing world, to promote learning as a lifelong process and by means of IT technology ensure a rapid transfer of knowledge and technology into practical application.
