While strictly speaking this is not the case, it is definitely an advantage to programming skills have some “coding” experience beforehand. Our German-wide unique IT Systems Engineering degree program covers much more than the solitary task of coding individual application at a PC. Besides the fundamentals of computer science, we teach our Bachelor and Master students to understand, develop, implement, and maintain large, highly complex and networked IT systems. The students in our Bachelor and Master’s programs are highly talented and very dedicated. Outstanding They thrive on intellectual challenges, enjoy mathematics, value team work, and appreciate the talent and great dedication practical dimensions of their studies. Computer science offers an ongoing challenge to those hungry for knowledge. Every day brings new issues from industry and society that we love to solve — as digitalization has long since entered all areas of life. We invite excellent graduates from around the world to take up their postgraduate studies at Postgraduate the Faculty of Digital Engineering in one of the research groups or at the HPI Research School — opportunities for top candidates the graduate school for exceptionally talented junior researchers, also funded by our founder.

  • Successfully Linking Science and Business Status: January 2017
    Background Hasso Plattner: Successfully Linking Science and Business Status: January 2017 Prof. Hasso Plattner (born January 21, 1944 in Berlin) has been successfully linking business and science for decades. He is known for his achievements as the co-founder of SAP – with its more than 66,000 employees worldwide – as well as for his social commitment, both of which endeavors are as exceptional as they are exemplary. The recipient of numerous awards, Plattner has recently been honored in the U.S. with the Lifetime Achievement Award of the German American Business Association (GABA). Plattner, a native of Berlin, majored in communications engineering at the University of Karlsruhe and graduated with an advanced degree in engineering. In 1990, the University of Saarbrücken awarded Plattner an honorary doctorate. Four years later the university appointed him honorary professor of business information technology. In 1998 the University of Saarland gave him the title of Honorary Senator. Plattner is also a member of the Board of Trustees at Stanford University. Since 2002 he has held an honorary doctorate from the University of Potsdam, where he was granted an honorary professorship in 2004. In February 2016 he was awarded the Heinrich Hertz Guest Professorship by the University of Karlsruhe and the President of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Plattner sees Potsdam, Brandenburg’s state capital, as “an ideal location for future-oriented research and teaching, not least because of the unique appeal of the Havelland region with its beautiful landscape and historic heritage.” The SAP co-founder and former chairman of the board made this statement when announcing the founding of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Software Systems Engineering (HPI) in the summer of 1998.
