Information for Students and Graduates
The next International Career Fair will be held on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at the IBZ.
Are you about to complete your studies or maybe already writing your thesis? Have you come to study at TU Dortmund University from abroad? Are you interested in the professional opportunities which companies from Dortmund and the region can offer you? Take your chance at the next International Career Fair and make direct contact with company representatives!
The International Career Fair at TU Dortmund University has a decisive advantage: In the run-up to the fair, students and graduates are matched with companies. Both groups are matched as closely as possible on the basis of individual competencies with CVs and job requirements. As a participating graduate, you receive a list of appointments with companies that match your profile before the fair. This gives the company representatives at the fair enough time to talk to you, and you can quickly get into direct contact with each other. Because both sides can find out about each other beforehand, the talks are very focused.
For international students and graduates, participation in the fair is a great opportunity to get an interesting internship or a position as a working student, or to get their first job directly after graduation. This is especially interesting for students who are taking courses in natural sciences and technical subjects. Visiting the fair can open up interesting career opportunities for you!

Where will the career fair take place?
The fair will take place at the International Meeting Center (IBZ), Emil-Figge-Str. 59, at the North Campus of the TU Dortmund University. The International Meeting Center offers an excellent framework for networking the university with the regional economy. The construction of the International Meeting Center (IBZ) has already shown that science and business are moving closer together in Dortmund: the building was financed primarily by donations from companies in Dortmund and the region. The students of the TU Dortmund also made a major contribution to the center with their tuition fees.
What do the companies expect from you?
When you register, you indicate what qualifications you bring with you and what you are interested in; for example, internships or an entry-level job. The more specific your information, the better we can place you with the companies. To do this, you must agree to us passing on your data and your CV to the companies for the event.
What does participation in the event cost?
For the companies and students, participation in the career fair is free of charge.
What happens after the fair?
We would like to stay in contact with you after the fair and follow up on what has resulted from your contacts.

Location & approach
The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" (closer to Campus Süd), and from B 1 / A 40 "Dortmund-Dorstfeld" (closer to Campus Nord). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.
To get from Campus Nord to Campus Süd by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at Campus Nord and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.
TU Dortmund University has its own train station ("Dortmund Universität"). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station ("Dortmund Hauptbahnhof") and Düsseldorf main station via the "Düsseldorf Airport Train Station" (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 20 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.
You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station "Stadtgarten", usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At "Stadtgarten" you switch trains and get on line U42 towards "Hombruch". Look out for the Station "An der Palmweide". From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop "Dortmund Kampstraße". From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop "Dortmund Wittener Straße". Switch to bus line 447 and get off at "Dortmund Universität S".
The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. One ("Dortmund Universität S") is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the "Technologiepark" and (via Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd every five minutes.
The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.
The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".
