Location & approach

By car

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 exits to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” or “Dortmund-Barop” (both closer to North Campus). Signs to the university are located at all the exits.

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.

By train

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”.

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.

H-Bahn

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System) 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.

Plan of site & interactive 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".

IFS-Bildungsdialog diskutiert das Gelingen der Ganztagsschule

A man stands at a lectern and smiles into the camera. In the background is the first slide of a presentation welcoming the participants of the IFS Education Dialog. — Prof. Heinz Günter Holtappels von der TU Dortmund eröffnete den 4. IFS-Bildungsdialog.

Wie kann die Ganztagsschule erfolgreich gestaltet werden? Das diskutierten am Donnerstag, 19. September, rund 100 Expertinnen und Experten aus Bildungsadministration, Bildungsforschung, Bildungspolitik und Bildungspraxis. Hintergrund sind ambivalente Forschungsbefunde zur Gestaltung und Lernwirksamkeit von Ganztagsschulen.

Studien zeigen, dass sich die Schere zwischen Kindern aus Arbeiter- und Akademikerfamilien in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren ein wenig geschlossen hat. Dennoch hängt schulischer Erfolg weiterhin stark von der sozialen Herkunft ab. Was kann man daran ändern? Ein Weg wäre, das Konzept Ganztagsschule ernster zu nehmen als es bisher häufig der Fall sei, sagt Professor Heinz Günter Holtappels vom Institut für Schulentwicklungsforschung (IFS) an der TU Dortmund. „Durch Ganztagsschulen hat die Lernkultur in den vergangenen Jahren erheblich gewonnen. Das ist dann der Fall, wenn durch Teilnahmeverbindlichkeit am Ganztagsbetrieb ein kontinuierliches Lernen über den ganzen Tag mit einem förderlichen Lernrhythmus erfolgen kann.“

Der (theoretische) Vorteil der Ganztagsschule ist offensichtlich: durch die ganztägige Betreuung werden Kinder bestmöglich gefördert. Bei der Halbtagsschule hingegen hängt viel vom sozio-ökonomischen Hintergrund der eigenen Familie ab: Können die Eltern das Kind bei Hausaufgaben und ähnlichem unterstützen? Kann Nachhilfe in Anspruch genommen werden? Ist genügend Zeit, Wissen und Geld für die Unterstützung des eigenen Kindes vorhanden? Beim Konzept Ganztagsschule wird der Einfluss des eigenen persönlichen Umfelds geringer. Dafür müssen allerdings die äußeren Gegebenheiten stimmen, wie beim 4. IFS-Bildungsdialog klar wurde.
