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 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.

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.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

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 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”.

Announcements

Am 26. & 27. Januar veranstalten die Amerikanistiken der Universitätsallianz Ruhr (UAR) ihr jährliches Ruhr PhD Forum in American Studies. In diesem Jahr sind Essen und Dortmund austragende Veranstaltungsorte des Graduiertenkolloquiums. An zwei Tagen präsentieren Promotionsstudierende ihre Projekte und geben Einblicke in den aktuellen Stand ihrer Forschung.

Als Senior Experts werden in diesem Jahr Astrid Franke, Professorin für Amerikanistik an der Eberhards Karls Universität Tübingen, und Alexandra Ganser, Professorin für nordamerikanische Literatur und Kultur an der Universität Wien, am Kolloquium teilnehmen.

Zudem wurde es auch in 2024 wieder möglich gemacht, gleich sechs externe Promotionsstudierende einzuladen (in order of appearance): Masayoshi Yamada von der University of California konnte mit ihrem Thema zur Rezeption von Jazz in den 1950er Jahren das Orga-Team ebenso überzeugen wie Eléonore Tarla und Barbara Gfoellner, beide von der Universität Wien. Während sich Tarla in ihrer Diss dem Thema "Survival Manuals" widmet, beschäftigt sich Gfoellner mit Aspekten von Mobilität in "Contemporary Anglophone Caribbean Poetry".

Karolina Kowalska von der Universität Warschau forscht in ihrem Projekt zu "literary and visual geographies of the rural queer". Zudem wird Hend Ayari von der Universität in Debrecen, Ungarn – ein ERASMUS-Partner der Dortmunder Amerikanistik – Einblicke in ihre Forschung zu Trauma und Memoiren indigen-amerikanischer Frauen zu geben. Der Künstler Eren Ileri von der Akademie der Feinen Künste in Wien forscht zu "disembodied white masculinity" in zeitgenössischen Digital Games.
