Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West motorway interchange, where the Sauerland line (A45) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg (B1/A40). The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while 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 S1 suburban train runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and, in the opposite direction, to Düsseldorf Central Station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg.

The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information is available on the website of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association (VRR), and DSW21 also provides an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. 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 Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd 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.

Map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

International Day of Development Language Disorders

International Day of Development Language Disorders 2026

10/15/2026

Vier lächelnde Personen stehen nebeneinander in einem hellen Raum und blicken in die Kamera. Alle tragen lilafarbene T-Shirts mit einem gelben Megafon-Symbol und dem Schriftzug „#TagderSES“. Im Hintergrund sind eine grüne Tafel, ein hohes Fenster und gestapelte bunte Schaumstoffbausteine zu sehen. Die Gruppe steht eng beieinander und posiert für ein gemeinsames Foto. — T-Shirt Aktion Tag der SES 2026, v. l. Dr. Eva Wimmer, Lisa Giesselbach M.Sc., Dr. Isabel Neitzel, Jannika Böse M.Ed.

Friday, October 16, 2026, is International DLD Day! The S&K team is supporting the event with a T-shirt campaign and a series of educational posts on Instagram!

On October 16, 2026, it’s that time again: International Developmental Language Disorder Day, which is supported internationally by RaDLD (Raising Awareness for Developmental Language Disorder, www.radld.org) and nationally by GISKID, aims to draw attention to developmental language disorder, which, although one of the most common developmental disorders in childhood, is often overlooked. There is insufficient awareness of this condition in society (see Scherger, 2023).

The Language & Communication Team at TU Dortmund University participates in various activities every year (educational videos on social media, free online training sessions, flyer campaigns, etc.). This year, the team will once again take part in the campaign wearing the T-shirts produced for the campaign by the Universities of Cologne and Munich (Thanks to Munich and Cologne for these!) and will wear them wherever they go (both on and off campus), so that everyone we encounter is made aware of the campaign! We’re also posting a series of educational videos on our new Instagram channel (@sk_tudortmund) in which we address facts and myths surrounding developmental language disorders and provide information about them.

Let’s work together to help minimize misdiagnoses! Learn more about it yourself, and then feel free to share this information with everyone around you. If left undiagnosed, it can have devastating effects on those affected—impacting their well-being, educational journey, and social interactions!
