The unique route to TU Dortmund: directions, parking and more!

The Technical University of Dortmund, a respected educational institution in North Rhine-Westphalia, is strategically located near the Dortmund West motorway junction. This location allows for easy access from a variety of directions. The Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B1/A40, which optimizes the connection to other motorways and cities. In particular, the Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exits on the A45 and Dortmund-Dorstfeld and -Barop on the A40 are well signposted to the university tu-dortmund.de reported.

The university is also easy to reach when traveling by public transport. The “Dortmund University” S-Bahn station is located directly on Campus North.
