Workstations and Technical Support

The Center for Information Technology and Media Management (ZIM) at the University of Potsdam goes to great lengths to create equal opportunities for students with health impairments/chronic conditions. There are special study rooms with workstations at all three university campuses. They undergo regular checks and are updated by the employees to offer the latest state of technology.

Below you will find information on the equipment in the study rooms at our campuses.
