By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. 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 S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 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 bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer 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 Airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. 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.

Course Content

The students have the task of developing a concept for a model car and implementing it so that the vehicle can cover a distance as precisely as possible. The basic requirement is that the car is driven on the basis of a chemical reaction. The work is done in teams of 3-7 students over a year beginning in the winter semester. The team has the task of organizing its own work. The group reports at least monthly on the results achieved and the work planned. The work ends with a final presentation of the created car at the Chemcar competition, an event organized by Processnet (an initiative of Dechema and VDI/GVC), where the car is tested for precision. The work will be judged by a jury consisting of company representatives. Furthermore, the team will give a presentation at the Dortmunder Hochschultage
