Location & approach

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.

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, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress 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.

Bachelor Data Science

Overview

The Data Science degree program provides the necessary knowledge for the in-depth analysis of large and complex data sets (e.g., for patient or customer data, for stock prices, or in connection with weather and climate) by combining statistics, mathematics, computer science, and application subjects. Graduates are at the intersection of these fields, able to work in interdisciplinary teams and communicate results appropriately. Data Science is an interdisciplinary joint project of the Faculties of Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics under the leadership of the Faculty of Statistics.

Study structure

The fundamentals of the program are taught in the first year. This includes introductions to mathematical theory (applied analysis and linear algebra), computer science (data structures, algorithms, programming), and probability theory and statistics. In the second and third years, the program offers electives in methods from advanced mathematics, programming, and statistical modeling. Management and processing as well as presentation and analysis of data are taught. The work with software is deepened, especially with regard to efficient algorithms.

From the beginning, great emphasis is placed on applications and the execution of case studies. This applies to both compulsory and elective modules and is deepened in the final thesis.

All compulsory modules are offered in German, elective courses in English are possible.

The program consists of 19 modules, including the three-month Bachelor thesis. Further information on content and modules can be found below.

Perspectives

The broad-based content of the bachelor's program enables graduates to find suitable solutions to numerous problems, for example in business and industry. The degree also allows for further studies, such as our English-language Master's degree in Data Science or related courses of study. Graduates have excellent knowledge of methods in the field of Big Data and are therefore in great demand in many fields of work.
