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.

Subject specializations in the master's degree program in computer science

General information on specializations

Master's program in Computer Science

The Master Examination Regulations for Computer Science allow you, if the supervisor of your Master Thesis supports it, to apply for a specialization. If you have passed modules of at least 30 credit points with reference to this focus, the subject focus will be indicated on your Master's certificate, see §§ 16, 21 u. 22 MPO Inf.

For some predefined specializations the examination board will facilitate your application:

Algorithmics
Cyber-Physical Systems
Data Science
Logics, Information, and Knowledge
Optimization
Software and Service Engineering

For these specializations you have to acquire at least 30 credit points from a list of modules and have the supervisor of your master thesis and, if applicable, of seminars and a student research project confirm the relation to the specialization. Please contact the examination administration for both registration of your master thesis.

Master's program in Applied Computer Science

In the Master's program in Applied Computer Science it is not possible to apply for a specialization.

Decisions of the examination board and forms

The predefined areas of specialization have been decided by the Examination Committee for Computer Science. Please note that the application for the determination of a predefined or individual specialization is form-bound.
