Complex social challenges increasingly require interdisciplinary solutions: Complex conflict structures and wars in the international system, questions of power configurations and of the legitimacy and efficiency of political systems have become central social challenges as have ethical aspects in scientific, social and individual contexts – for example with regard to euthanasia, the application of research innovations in preimplantation genetic diagnostics or the use of nuclear energy.

Physics tries to measure quantifiable natural phenomena by means of specific 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 TU Dortmund University is to anchor the integration of experiment and theory, which has been so successful in research, already in education.
The education in the English-language specialization Process Systems Engineering enables students to design and operate complex chemical and biochemical production systems with the help of mathematical models and modern computer tools for simulation and optimization. Graduates also master methods of control and production planning as well as the analysis and description of experimental data. Process engineers are in great demand on the market, as it gives the chemical engineer the opportunity to acquire all the knowledge necessary not only for the planning of a chemical plant, but also for its simulation and optimization.

The M.Sc. in Construction Management and Real Estate Management teaches a holistic and interdisciplinary understanding of the economic, legal, technical and ecological principles of the construction and real estate sector. Students additionally gain a deeper insight into the particularities of a construction project from start to finish, i.e., in terms of structural and process engineering as well as workflow. The M.Sc. can lead to a further academic qualification in teaching and research by attaining a doctoral degree and represents an excellent professional qualification for work in construction and real estate management.
