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 ma

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, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. 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.

The Department of Computer Science is repositioning itself!

The start of the new semester also marks the handover of the baton in the Dean's Office of the Department of Computer Science. On October 1, the previous Dean of Studies, Professor Jens Teubner, will take over from Professor Gernot A. Fink as head of the Dean's Office.

Professor Fink had been Dean of the department since 2012 and shaped the department in many ways. During his tenure, the number of students grew from less than 2,000 to almost 6,000 in the 2019/20 winter semester. This development was accompanied by an increase in the number of professors in the department. This was due not least to the intensified research successes of Dortmund's computer science professors, which characterized the outgoing dean's term of office and increased the department's attractiveness enormously.

For example, the Machine Learning Competence Center Rhine-Ruhr (ML2R) was consolidated as the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Cooperation with neighboring universities also intensified within the University Alliance Ruhr, which manifested itself in the establishment of the Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security, among other things.

A highlight of Professor Fink's tenure was the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Department of Computer Science, established in 1972 as the Department of Computer Science at the former University of Dortmund. Founded in the early 1970s as one of the first university departments of computer science, it is now one of the largest computer science faculties in Germany.

Professor Jens Teubner has put together a powerful team to continue this successful path. Professor Mario Botsch takes over from Professor Peter Buchholz as Vice Dean, while Professor Stefan Harmeling takes over from Professor Teubner as Dean of Studies in the Department of Computer Science.

The new Dean's Office will be supported by Dr. Lukas Rehm, who succeeded Dr. Stefan Dißmann, the long-standing Managing Director of the Department of Computer Science, in the summer.
