Structure and procedure

Over two semesters, participants gain deeper insights into their respective professional field, attend customised workshops and build a lasting network. There is a choice of three specialisations to suit their job aspirations and offer the following benefits:

  • Valuable contacts to companies in Brandenburg
  • Career talks and job shadowing with self-initiated organisation
  • Coaching, workshops and lectures on career-related questions and mindset topics
  • A limited number of participants (maximum 15 people) for an intensive learning experience and familiar atmosphere
  • meaningful proof in the form of a certificate of participation from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam for your application documents

Bachelor/Master + sought-after skills = jobs in the best companies

Participants in the certificate programme can develop in-depth skills in one or each of the three subject areas:

  • Perspectives on sustainability
  • Digital transformation
  • Internationalisation and intercultural competence

Leadership skills training is integrated into all three certificates. The certificate programme is accompanied by a supporting programme with networking events, career talks and job shadowing, which includes valuable contacts with potential employers and companies in Brandenburg.

Questions and answers

The programme's offerings should be seen as an additional qualification that is taught independently of the knowledge acquired on the degree programme and beyond. These skills are in demand on the labour market and provide corresponding advantages in future job applications. Companies orientated towards greater efficiency thus receive 2 skills in one person.

In general, you can register for the programme from the first semester. However, we recommend starting from the 3rd semester so that the time between the certificate and starting the job is not too long.

Send an email to 360gradzukunft@fh-potsdam.de or call us on +49 331 580-2039 and we will arrange a consultation.

Alternatively, you can also come to the open consultation hour, which takes place every third Tuesday of the month from 12 to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

You can complete the certificate within one year (2 semesters). Entry takes place in the winter semester.

No, it is also possible to obtain 2 or 3 certificates. However, the time required is then correspondingly higher.

Of course. There is no certificate for this, but a certificate of attendance can be issued in any case and serve as proof for application documents, for example.

Yes and no. Participation in the Keypiece workshops is mandatory in order to receive a certificate in the respective orientation (Perspectives on Sustainability, Digital Transformation or Internationalisation & International Competence). In addition, you must choose one of the three programmes Job Shadowing, Career Talk or Students on Tour.
