The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. 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 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. In addition, the university can be reached by the 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.

The H-Bahn

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

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund main station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Structure of the certificate

The structure of the studium oecologicum depicted as a potted plant. The five subject areas are on the pot and a plant with four leaves grows from it. The leaves show the overall scope and the different module areas.

Example

If you are studying physics, for example, your own subject area is science and technology, for architecture and civil engineering the subject area is space and construction. Teacher training students belong to the subject area of education.

If a module from science and technology was chosen as the first specialization module from your own department, a module from education, society, space and construction or economics can be chosen for the second specialization module.

Overview of previous events

The following table lists all courses that are or were previously included in the studium oecologicum module catalog as well as the courses that have been recognized by the studium oecologicum advisory board. The table can be sorted by clicking on the respective tab. The "Search" field can be used to search for specific courses. Click on the green plus symbol to display a course description (if available), which can be closed again by clicking on the red minus symbol. The descriptions are reduced and the information on the courses as found in the LSF applies. The number of credit points is a guideline, as it can vary due to different examination regulations. The table is updated every semester. If the course is not included in the table, you can send a credit transfer request by e-mail . To do this, send us a module description or similar that clearly shows a link to sustainability. Once per semester, the advisory board will then decide on the recognition.
