    Young but bold

    Opening up Education for International Students

    My Master’s Degree at the FH Potsdam was fantastic. Our lecturers were versatile with some of them being in research, others working in the field. The Master’s was a hybrid programme meaning that part of the class was on-site, the other half online. The fact that we were able to study from anywhere allowed for a multicultural class with students from all over the globe. The only downside was the FH and the registration for the thesis. Unfortunately, they asked us to submit three printed copies of our thesis which is a bit of a bummer for students that are located outside of Germany or Europe and just doesn’t seem to align with the whole idea of making the master’s more accessible. Other than that, the students were great, the lecturers were great and the programme really interesting.

    Course Content

    There are some courses which contain good content. Moreover, some courses are good. Especially we can take courses from other departments like HPI, Cognitive System. Data Science is a very demanding subject and it would be much better if we got some resources or books to get the guidelines for our studies.
