innovation meets excellent teaching
Here at the Hasso Plattner Institute, you will find innovative computer science degree programs and become part of a unique community. Our Faculty of Digital Engineering is one of the best providers of computer science programs in the German university landscape.
Our Bachelor of Science in IT Systems Engineering provides a broad knowledge base and enables students to design, develop and manage complex IT systems. The quality of the program is reflected in the consistently positive reviews.
Our master's programs allow you to expand your knowledge and skills. They are the ideal platform for further specialization.
For me, the HPI is a place of community and exchange.

Your benefits at HPI
- Optimal supervision – a high ratio of faculty members per student
- Development of additional expertise – through professional skills trainings and design thinking courses
- Study abroad – for a research project or internship
- A like-minded community of inspired minds on a vibrant campus
- No tuition fees – only University of Potsdam semester fees
- HPI Connect – kick-starting your career with on-campus job fair and career services
I particularly like the ratio of students to teaching staff. There are lots of tutorials with just a few students per tutor, so you always have someone to talk to and get very good support.
