Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are located on two campuses, the larger North Campus and the smaller South Campus. In addition, some university facilities are located in the adjacent Dortmund Technology Park as well as in the city center and the wider urban area.

RESOLV Cluster of Excellence extended for a further seven years

05/26/2025

The DFG approves the extension of the RESOLV Cluster of Excellence at Ruhr-Universität-Bochum and TU Dortmund University.

The RESOLV Cluster of Excellence has established a new research discipline in chemistry and physics with its focus on solvents. The network, which is based at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and TU Dortmund University, will enter its third funding phase in 2026. The Bochum-Dortmund team will continue its successful interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers from the University of Duisburg-Essen and the three Max Planck Institutes for Coal Research, Chemical Energy Conversion and Sustainable Materials. Although biological and chemical reactions usually take place in solvents, the solvent has long been regarded as a bystander in this process. However, the RESOLV team was able to show that the role of the solvent has been underestimated to date and that it actively participates in chemical reactions. The aim of the upcoming funding phase is to gain an even better understanding of such solvent-controlled processes and to control them in a targeted manner.

The working groups of Prof. Igor Schapiro, Prof. Edvardas Narevicius and Prof. Jelger Risselada at the Department of Physics are involved.
