Combination Degree Programme With a Fixed Combination of Subjects

A new teaching degree programme was established at the University of Potsdam for the winter semester 2020/21, specifically tailored to the needs of the subject combination of Mathematics and Physics. The two subjects, which are closely linked in terms of content and history, enable a wide range of synergies in the course of study; at the same time, the programme helps to secure the long-term demand for highly qualified teachers of both subjects in Brandenburg.
