Student Projects

Student projects are recognized academic forms of teaching and learning that exist alongside lectures, seminars, and tutorials at the University of Potsdam. They feature the following:

• Student initiatives,
• Self-organization,
• Peer situation,
• Interdisciplinarity.

University lecturers provide scholarly supervision for student projects. Achievements completed in projects are credited in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) as courses completed in the “Student Projects” elective module (Studiumplus). Financial support is available through Studiumplus for completing projects.

University instructors:

• Vote for the project during the application phase, thereby confirming that the planned project meets teaching quality requirements;
• Assist students in the planning and execution of projects;
• Are responsible for admission in PULS;
• Evaluate the project results;
• Book the credit points in PULS.

Progress reports, presentations, performances and the like qualify as project results and certificates of performance.
