Online enrollment for the winter semester

Admission-free degree programs

Here you will find all open-admission programs for the 1st semester in which you can enroll for the winter semester at TU Dortmund University within the regular deadlines.

Natural Sciences and Computer Sciences

The bachelor's degree program in Applied Computer Science offers the opportunity to apply methodological knowledge of computer science in an engineering subject. The elective area, which is reduced in comparison to the bachelor's program in computer science, allows a stronger focus on application areas of computer science.

Today, new insights in science, business, administration and technology almost always arise from large and complex data sets. To properly handle patient or customer data, stock prices and returns, and weather or climate information, one needs knowledge from statistics, computer science, and mathematics. The Data Science program combines these subjects, enabling students to perform statistical data analysis while gaining deeper insights into computer science concepts and methods.

More and more, medicine is also applied physics. It has long been impossible to imagine hospitals or doctors' offices without highly complex and sophisticated equipment. Ultrasound sensors show deposits in arteries, strong magnetic fields in tomographs make muscles, organs and fat visible. Not only in diagnosis, but also in treatment, things are physical: lasers cut more precisely than scalpels, accelerators destroy tumors with high-energy radiation and spare healthy tissue all around.

Physics tries to measure quantifiable natural phenomena by means of targeted experiments and to describe them theoretically by means of the simplest possible fundamental models. In constant cross-fertilization of experiment and theory, physics today has penetrated the realms of the largest dimensions - in astrophysics - as well as those of the smallest dimensions - in elementary particle physics. One of the guiding principles of the physics program at the Technical University of Dortmund is to anchor the integration of experiment and theory, which has been so successful in research, already in the education.

Every day we encounter tables and graphs in newspapers, on television and on the Internet. That's why many people think that's statistics. In truth, there is much more to it than that. Statistics is the separation of chance and system, the inference from random samples to basic populations, the identification of causal relationships or the finding of small needles in large haystacks.

Statistics is becoming increasingly important in almost all areas of business, science and everyday life. Planning clinical trials, quality control in industry, forecasting election results or economic growth rates all rely on modern statistics.

Many technical processes are not initially realized in concrete terms, but are modeled and simulated with computers. For example, in order to find out how long a component can withstand mechanical stress and when the first cracks will appear, real components or machines are not destroyed in tests; instead, the answers sought are determined by simulations. Technomathematicians develop and optimize such simulations and thus contribute to intelligent product development.

Engineering Sciences

In bioengineering and chemical engineering, people are in demand who seek (engineering) technical solutions for the small and large problems of our lives: It is about clean laundry, clean water and clean air, but also about the production of paint, cosmetics, medicine, fertilizers or new forms of energy. Bioengineering is a technically oriented course of study that focuses on translating the findings of the life sciences into technical applications.

Mechanical engineering makes a decisive contribution to the level of technical development in our society. The production of all industrial and consumer goods requires the use of mechanical engineers. The design of machines and plants as well as the development of new manufacturing processes require not only special technical but also profound knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, computer science and business administration.

Social Sciences and Cultural Studies

Expertise in music and professionalism in dealing with the media. That is the goal of the bachelor's degree program in music journalism. The course, a cooperation between the Institute of Music and Musicology and the Institute of Journalism, aims to meet the requirements specifically in the communication of "sophisticated music" in classical, film, jazz or pop. On this basis, students learn the technical and methodological craft to be able to apply, critically question and explore media in relation to music culture.

In addition to providing general sociological skills in the areas of sociological thinking, theories, and social structure, we offer a focus on six key fields of social change (students choose two of them): Social Inequalities and Cultural Differences, Life Course and Biography, Health and Well-Being, Work, Organization and Technology, Knowledge and Education, and Environment and Innovation.

*) Please note: The program is currently in the process of accreditation. Any conditions imposed by accrediting agencies may result in modification or cancellation of the degree program.

Teacher Training

In the teaching profession at vocational colleges, the study of two subjects and educational sciences is compulsory, whereby instead of a subject, a vocational specialization or a special educational focus can also be chosen.

Location & approach

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.

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 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.

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.

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”.
