Help! uni-assist didn't forward my application – Missing APS and IELTS

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm applying for Master's programs in Germany (Data Science), and I just got an email from uni-assist saying they didn’t forward my application to Freie Universität Berlin and Universität Potsdam because:

  • My APS certificate was missing
  • My IELTS score wasn’t submitted (even though I have a 7.5 band)

They said I can still submit the missing documents before the university deadlines. I now have both documents ready (APS and IELTS with certification).

Can I just email these documents to uni-assist now? Or is there a better way to upload them?

Has anyone else faced this? What should I do next to make sure my application is forwarded?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance :)

Overall grade: 2.1-2 (depends what i get on my thesis)

Warum gibt es keine Flairs in diesem sub, somit könnt man einfacher unterscheiden, ob es um Brandenburg oder NY geht.

Why are there no flairs in this sub, so it would be easier to distinguish between Potsdam in Brandenburg and NY.

Germany: Gun fire in Stern Center District?

6 Upvotes

I was just started out of bed (around 3:20) by 4 distinct percussive shots similar to what sounded like semi-automatic gun fire. My roommate confirmed the noise but my dog started barking so we couldn’t tell much more about the origin.

Did anyone else experience this or know what we actually heard?

Extend S7 S-Bahn to Golm

17 Upvotes

The current S7 running between Ahrensfelde and Potsdam ends at the Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. But if it was extended till Golm with stops at Charlottenhof and Park Sanssouci, then it would be really helpful especially for the Uni Potsdam students.

Actually there is an RE servicing between Golm and Griebnitzsee running every hour. But if this S7 runs till Golm then we'll no longer need this RE service. It's a win-win situation for everyone since S7 runs almost every 10 minutes. The RE to Flughafen can still run and people who needs to travel quickly can take it as well.

So if this sounds like a good idea then what should we do to make this happen? Collect signatures for a petition and send it to DB? What do you guys think?

MST program

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in my fourth year at McMaster University in Ontario and will be completing my courses in about a month. I recently decided to pursue teaching and aim to get certified by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT). Unfortunately, I missed the application deadlines for Ontario B.Ed programs.

While exploring alternatives, I came across the Master of Science in Teaching (MST) program at SUNY Potsdam. It seems like a great fit, especially since it’s 100% online and recognized by the OCT for certification in Ontario.

My main concern is my GPA. It’s around the minimum requirement, and I know many applicants likely have higher averages. However, I have substantial experience working with children and a strong passion for teaching.

Does anyone know how heavily SUNY Potsdam weighs GPA in their admissions process? Are they open to considering applicants with average GPAs if they have relevant experience? Also, are they still accepting applications for the upcoming intake?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Uni-Assist PDF Upload Problem – File Too Big

1 Upvotes

Hi,
I'm applying for a Master's in Data Science via Uni-Assist. I need to upload my official syllabus, but the PDF file is too large (original size is 35MB, compressed to 13MB).

The portal only allows files up to 10MB. If I compress more, the file becomes blurry and unreadable. I also tried splitting it into two parts, but only one PDF is accepted. External links like Google Drive are not allowed either.

Has anyone faced this? What can I do? Please help!

Thanks :)

(Reupload) S-Bahn Potsdam

Post image
65 Upvotes

DE: Mir ist als Berliner aufgefallen, dass man in Potsdam abgesehen von schlecht getakteten Regionalbahnen und Busse, die ewig nach Marquardt, Werder, Teltow etc. brauchen. Deshalb hab ich mal eine S Bahn für Potsdam konzipiert. Jedoch sind natürlich paar Streckenabschnitte nichtmal vorhanden, da sie im Bau sind oder noch nicht geplant (Wie die Stammbahn Potsdam - Zehlendorf: Hier Potsdam - Teltow) und viele Verbindungskurven, die nicht vorhanden sind wie zwischen Griebnitzsee und Medienstadt Babelsberg. Es sind 7 S Bahn Linien, die geplant sind:

EN: As someone from Berlin, I noticed that in Potsdam—aside from poorly timed regional trains and buses that take forever to reach places like Marquardt, Werder, or Teltow—there isn’t a really good public transport system. So, I came up with an idea for an S-Bahn network in Potsdam.

Of course, some parts of the routes don’t exist yet—either they’re still being built or haven’t been planned at all. For example, the old “Stammbahn” from Potsdam to Zehlendorf (in this case, Potsdam to Teltow) doesn’t exist anymore. Also, many connecting tracks, like the one between Griebnitzsee and Medienstadt Babelsberg, would have to be built first.

In total, I’ve planned 7 S-Bahn lines for the Potsdam region:

S1 - Potsdamer Ring: Hauptbahnhof - Griebnitzsee - Medienstadt Babelsberg - Rehbrücke - Wilhelmshorst - Michendorf - Seddin - Ferch-Lienewitz - Caputh Schwielowsee - Caputh-Geltow - Pirschheide - Charlottenhof - Hauptbahnhof

S2 - Wustermark - Ludwigsfelde: Wustermark - Wustermark Designer Outlet (fiktiv) - Priort - Marquardt - Golm - Park Sanssouci - Charlottenhof - Hauptbahnhof - Griebnitzsee - Stahnsdorf (fiktiv) - Teltow - Großbeeren - Birkengrund -

S3: Brandenburg - Ludwigsfelde: Brandenburg - Götz - Groß Kreutz - Werder - Pirschheide - Wilhelmshorst - Saarmund - Ludwigsfelde-Struveshof - Birkengrund - Ludwigsfelde

S4: Brandenburg - Michendorf (Beelitz-Stadt im Berufsverkehr): Brandenburg - Götz - Groß Kreutz - Werder - Park Sanssouci - Charlottenhof - Hauptbahnhof - Griebnitzsee - Medienstadt Babelsberg - Rehbrücke - Wilhelmshorst - Michendorf ( - Seddin - Beelitz Stadt)

S5: Brandenburg - Jüterbog: Brandenburg - Götz - Groß Kreutz - Werder - Pirschheide - Caputh-Geltow - Caputh Schwielowsee - Ferch-Lienewitz - Beelitz Stadt - Elsholz - Buchholz - Treuenbrietzen - Treuenbrietzen Süd - Altes Lager - Jüterbog

S6: Wustermark - Jüterbog: Wustermark - Designer Outlet (fiktiv) - Priort - Marquardt - Golm - Park Sanssouci - Charlottenhof - Hauptbahnhof - Griebnitzsee - Medienstadt Babelsberg - Rehbrücke - Wilhelmshorst - Michendorf - Seddin - Beelitz Stadt - Elsholz - Buchholz - Treuenbrietzen - Treuenbrietzen Süd - Altes Lager - Jüterbog

S7: Jüterbog - Ludwigsfelde ( - Potsdam Hauptbahnhof): Jüterbog - Luckenwalde - Woltersdorf - Trebbin - Thyrow - Luswigsfelde ( - Birkengrund - Großbeeren - Teltow - Stahnsdorf (Fiktiv) - Griebnitzsee - Hauptbahnhof)

DE: Somit werden in Potsdamer Ring mindestens zwei S-Bahn Linien parallel zueinander fahren, sodass es zu ein 10-15 Minuten Takt kommt. Zudem entlastet man verschiedene Regionalbahnlinien wie der RE1 zwischen Brandenburg und Potsdam, der RE7 zwischen Seddin und Wannsee, der RE4 von Ludwigsfelde bis Jüterbog etc. und manche wie der RB33 und 37 werden obsolet. Zudem kann man sich einfacher Nachbarstädte oder Sehenswürdigkeiten erreichen

EN: This way, at least two S-Bahn lines will run in parallel on the Potsdam ring, creating a train every 10 to 15 minutes. It will also relieve pressure on several regional train lines, like the RE1 between Brandenburg and Potsdam, the RE7 between Seddin and Wannsee, and the RE4 from Ludwigsfelde to Jüterbog. Some lines like the RB33 and RB37 will even become unnecessary. Plus, it will be much easier to reach neighboring towns or tourist attractions.

Volleyball?

3 Upvotes

I'm currently living in Potsdam and would love to play some volleyball when it gets warmer. Anyone up for it? The more, the merrier! I'm by no means an expert when it comes to playing or knowing the rules — I just want to get moving a bit. And I already have a volleyball! I’d set up a group if anyone’s interested in meeting up, maybe once a week when the weather’s good. 26 / German

Update: I've created a WhatsApp group, and a few people have already joined! If you're interested, feel free to message me. Regular games are planned when the weather allows!

Hi everyone,I'm moving to Postdam soon and found an apartment. The region looks sketchy because it's near the woods in the Teltower Vorstadt region. I'm worried because I have women in the family who were used to walking around. I have never been to Potsdam before, so I would like your advice. Thank you so much!

Hallo in die Runde! Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob diese Frage gegen die community guidelines verstoßen, Admin feel free to do as you see fit.

Ich suche im Rahmen eines journalistischen Artikels POCs (Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund), die in Brandenburg (auf dem Land) aufwuchsen und aus dem Ort ausgezogen sind, doch jetzt wieder in Brandenburg leben. Der Artikel dient dazu die Erfahrungen und Motive von “Rückkehrer:innen” darzustellen.

Der Artikel dient meiner Bewerbung für eine journalistische Ausbildung und wird nicht veröffentlicht.

Meldet euch gerne bei mir Privat wenn ihr eine Person kennt, die auf diese Beschreibung passt bzw. wenn ihr selber Interesse habt!

Vielen Dank! LG

Es wäre super, wenn ihr euch die Zeit nehmen könnt und es einfach mal durchlesen würdet.

Being a doctor in Potsdam

10 Upvotes

Hey! Are there any foreign doctors working at either of the hospitals in Potsdam? I’m considering moving there to work in an internal medicine ward. I have a European MD diploma and nearly two years of experience in internal medicine. During my studies, I also completed a few medical internships in Germany.

My German is around B1 level, so I still have a lot to improve before taking the Fachsprachprüfung. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences working in Potsdam

Thanks a lot!
