Application
You have been selected by your home university to study at TU Dortmund University for one or two semesters?
Congratulations - we are looking forward to meeting you!
Would you like to live in one of the student dormitories of the Studierendenwerk Dortmund during your stay at TU Dortmund University? You can find all information as well as the separate housing request form on our website Housing.
Students coming to TU Dortmund University within the Erasmus+ Program "Mobility with Partner Countries" (KA107) must complete the Learning Agreement .
TU Dortmund University is also a good host for students who have special needs and provides support! The infrastructure for this is available, as the International Office is well connected with the corresponding institutions within the university and maintains excellent cooperation with external partners (e.g. Studierendenwerk Dortmund, Department of Disability and Studies (DoBuS)).
Disabilities and Studies
There is a central institution at TU Dortmund University that advises students with disabilities and chronic illnesses. This institution is unique in Germany and is called the Department of Disability and Studies (DoBuS).
The International Office and DoBuS help students with disabilities to organize and coordinate their stay abroad in Dortmund, so that they can receive support in advance if they have special needs.
If you have a handicap or chronic illness, we are happy to support you!
Just get in touch with your contact persons: Erasmus (study/internship) or USA Program | ISEP | Worldwide
Studying with a child/children
TU Dortmund University has a variety of support and counselling services for families and is a member of a network called Best Practice Club "Family in the University".
If you are planning your stay abroad with your child(ren), we will be happy to help you! Unfortunately, experience shows that it is not possible to register at a day care centre or school overnight, so it is recommended to plan ahead.
Simply get in touch with your contact persons: Erasmus (study/internship) or USA Program | ISEP | Worldwide
