Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West highway junction, where the A45 Sauerland route crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to Campus South, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 to Campus North. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly 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 Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route network map.

Suspension Railway (H-Bahn)

The "H-Bahn" is one of the landmarks of TU Dortmund University. 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. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 runs every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this route in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, you can take the AirportExpress to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes and from there take the S-Bahn to the university. Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, offers a wider range of international flight connections and can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

What is psycholinguistics?

Psycholinguistics investigates the processing of human speech: how one understands, produces and learns a language across the lifespan. Most people use their mother tongue automatically in their everyday life without any worries or struggle. However, the actual learning process behind this ability is time consuming and costs a lot of effort: A child’s language acquisition takes years of intense practice and its mastery is not concluded until around the 13th year of age. Most people are not aware of the complexity and length of this process until the highly automatic processing of speech is in way or the other challenged: for example, when learning a foreign language or when suffering a speech disorder like aphasia.

Speech processing, language acquisition, speech pathology – the main goal of psycholinguistics is to gain knowledge in these various research areas, mainly with the help of experimental methods. In the psycholinguistics laboratories at the TU Dortmund, we make use of eye-tracking, EEG and reaction time measurements to contribute to our understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of language and language processing.

Listen to the inaugural lecture of Prof. Dr. Barbara Mertins from the 15th of January 2016 at the Technical University of Dortmund on Youtube to get an overview of how language can affect our worldview. The lecture was held in German.
