Information Systems at TU Dortmund University - WI - TU Dortmund

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 exit to take from A 45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" (closer to Campus Süd), and from B 1 / A 40 "Dortmund-Dorstfeld" (closer to Campus Nord). 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 Campus Nord to Campus Süd by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at Campus Nord and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By bus, subway and 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 20 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 (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 airplane

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.

Congratulations on your successful doctorate, Amelie Schmid!

On July 9, 2026 Amelie Schmid (External Doctoral Student at the professorship Digital Transformation) successfully defended his dissertation.

The image shows a woman and a man standing next to each other in a brightly lit room, smiling directly at the camera. The woman on the left has long blonde hair and is wearing a light pink pantsuit with a black top underneath, a gold necklace, and black pointed shoes. On her head, she wears a striking, custom-decorated doctoral hat. The cylindrical base of the hat is covered with several printed photos, while the square top features a small rubber duck wearing its own miniature graduation cap and a green tassel. Standing to her right is a man with short brown hair, a beard, and round glasses. He is dressed in a white button-down shirt, a gray and black patterned blazer, light beige trousers, a dark belt, and brown leather brogue shoes; he wears a watch on his left wrist. In the background, large windows offer a sweeping view of a lush green, forested landscape under a cloudy sky. To the left side of the room, there is a high table set up with platters of snacks and finger food, with a red plastic crate sitting on the floor underneath it. On the right side, a mobile whiteboard on wheels and parts of other office equipment are visible. The light-colored floor is marked in a few places with strips of yellow tape.

The professorship Digital Transformation participated in the ECIS 2026 in Milan, Italy and presented three papers.

The image shows three men standing side-by-side outdoors on a green lawn on a sunny day, looking directly at the camera. All three are wearing long-sleeved button-down shirts, long trousers, and lanyards with name badges clearly displaying the text "ECIS". The man on the left wears glasses, has a slight beard, and is dressed in a light blue shirt, blue jeans, and brown shoes. The man in the middle is smiling and wears a light blue shirt, dark trousers, a brown belt, and brown shoes. The man on the right wears glasses, a white shirt, dark trousers, and black shoes. Behind the men is a circular flower bed with an outer border densely planted with bright pinkish-red flowers. Directly behind the flower bed, large white sculptural letters stand on the grass, though they are partially obscured by the people. The background is dominated by modern buildings featuring striking, undulating white slatted facades that contrast against a clear, bright blue sky. A covered pedestrian walkway is visible in the background on the left, while a dark blue directional signpost stands on the right. In the bottom left corner of the foreground, a small sign is visible showing a red circle with a slash through a dog, indicating that dogs are not permitted.
