Location & approach

By Car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.

To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By Train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

By Plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

MinTU participants get to know the BCI

11/19/2024

Das Bild zeigt eine Gruppe von Schülerinnen im Rahmen des Programms MinTU (Mädchen in die TU) in einem Labor der Fakultät BCI. Die Teilnehmerinnen tragen weiße Laborkittel und Schutzbrillen, während sie sich mit chemischen Experimenten vertraut machen. Im Vordergrund hantiert eine Schülerin konzentriert mit einem Reagenzglas und einem Becherglas mit einer grünen Flüssigkeit. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Teilnehmerinnen und Laborutensilien zu sehen. Das Programm bietet Mädchen die Möglichkeit, technische Studienfächer und Berufe wie Bio- und Chemieingenieurwesen praxisnah kennenzulernen.

MinTU (Mädchen in die TU) has been a tried and tested program for many years to introduce and inspire girls to technical subjects at an early age. Women are still underrepresented in these subjects.

On Tuesday, around 25 girls had the opportunity to find out about the activities and study opportunities at BCI, after first receiving information about the careers of bioengineers and chemical engineers, the participants were able to get to know the work in the laboratory in various workshops. For example, they produced peppermint pastilles using a tablet press and learned about the process of extracting peppermint oil from peppermint leaves. In the workshop on polymers, the participants were surprised at how much liquid the superabsorbents used in diapers bind and that milk ingredients can also be used as adhesives.
