The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West interchange, where the Sauerland line A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhr expressway B 1 / A 40. To the west, the University is thus connected to the dense freeway network of the Ruhr Area and, beyond that, to the regions of the Lower Rhine or the Netherlands. To the east, the B 1 leads through Dortmund in the direction of Unna, where it connects with highways to Bremen, Hanover/Berlin and Kassel. To the north, the A 45 ends after a few kilometers at the A 2, which leads to the Kamener Kreuz interchange on the one hand and in the direction of Oberhausen on the other. In the southern direction, the A 45 offers another junction at the Westhofener Kreuz with the A 1, which leads from Bremen to the Cologne area. The most convenient highway exits are found on the A 45 in Dortmund-Eichlinghofen (closer to the south campus) and on the B 1 / A 40 in Dortmund-Dorstfeld (closer to the north campus). The University is signposted at both exits. In the local road network you will find signs to Campus North and Campus South. To get from Campus North to Campus South by car, you can either use the Universitätsstraße or take the narrow and winding connection Vogelpothsweg / Baroper Straße. The route from Campus South to Campus North, on the other hand, leads exclusively via Universitätsstraße, because Baroper Straße is only passable in one direction from the junction Universitätsstraße. It is often more advisable to park your car in one of the parking lots and use the Suspension Railway "H-Bahn" on campus.

TU Dortmund University has its own S-Bahn station ("Dortmund Universität") on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via "Düsseldorf Flughafen" station. This makes the university directly accessible from the cities of Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg. From downtown Dortmund, you can also get to TU Dortmund University by bus or light rail by taking the U 41, U 45, U 47 or U 49 light rail from the main train station to "Stadtgarten" stop, from there take the U42 to "An der Palmweide" stop and ultimately change to the 462 or 447 buses to "Dortmund Universität S" stop. Another option would be to take the above-mentioned subway lines from Dortmund Central Station to "Dortmund Kampstraße" stop, from there take the subway U 43/ U 44 to "Dortmund Wittener Straße" stop and continue with bus 447 to "Dortmund Universität S" stop.

One of the university's landmarks is the "H-Bahn", which has two terminuses on the North Campus. One is located directly above the S-Bahn station and is easily accessible from it by elevators. The other is located in the center of Campus North at the bridge between the University Library and the Mensa, right next to the Audimax. The H-Bahn runs from here to the South Campus and the Eichlinghofen district.
