Technical University of Dortmund
Since its founding in 1968, the Technical University of Dortmund has gained a special profile with 16 faculties in the fields of natural and engineering sciences, social sciences and cultural studies. The university has about 34,500 students and about 6,300 employees, including 300 professors. The range of courses includes around 80 programs. TU Dortmund University is particularly well positioned in four profile areas: (1) materials science, production engineering and logistics, (2) chemical biology, active substances and process engineering, (3) data analysis, modeling and simulation, and (4) educational sciences. In an international comparison, the TU Dortmund also ranks in the 401-500 range.
Since 1984, the Technical University of Dortmund (TU) has connected the north and south campuses with the “Monoray” system, formerly known as the “H-Bahn,” the world’s first driverless train. An interesting fact: Unusually for technical universities in Germany, the proportion of female students is 46 percent, almost as high as the proportion of male students. Of course, this ratio is very low in some technical fields (11.7% in mechanical engineering).
Computer science, economics and education are among the largest fields of study at TU Dortmund. About 20% of all TU students study in these programs. The TU is also home to the largest training center for architects and urban planners in Europe.
