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.

Ongoing projects

Language and spatial recognition

The interdisciplinary research project with respect to space, language and cognition aims to investigate the perception of specific architectural spaces. This pioneer project is part of the TU Dortmund, and is a collaboration between the Department of Psycholinguistics (German empirical and experimental linguistics) and Architecture (Chair of Civil Engineering). The eye-tracking method is used to investigate visual attention and cognitive mechanisms that serve as the basis for spatial perception.

Psycholinguistic study of highly gifted people in mathematics and language

The eye-tracking method is used for the first time in this research project to analyse the reading strategies of highly gifted students (7th to 10th grade) in solving mathematically challenging tasks in different display modes (formula , graph and textual task). The focus is to find how the person proceeds by means of reading techniques in such a task, and whether different reading strategies can be revealed with regard to different gauging criteria (such as, mathematics vs. speech) and other variables (like gender, age).

Possessives in cross-linguistic comparison and from learner’s perspective

The project deals with the influence of the first language (L1) on the second language (L2). A language-contrastive perspective is assumed. The focus is on the second language acquisition of reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns in various languages such as German, English, Norwegian, Polish, Czech.

The main focus of this research project at the TU Dortmund is to gain insight into the influence of Czech as L1 on the acquisition of German or Norwegian as L2. For this purpose, the offline questionnaires as well as the eye-tracking method are used.
