The University City of Dortmund offers its students excellent study conditions in a variety of academic institutions and research institutes. With them innovative companies from future industries are interlinked. A compilation of all scientific institutions, networks, foundations and competence centers in Dortmund with addresses and contacts can be found in the Science Portal of the City of Dortmund. There you will also find help with the many questions surrounding your studies – which subject of study could be suitable for me, where you can live in Dortmund, what funding options are available, and much more.
The faculty determines the campus, the language of its programmes and the admission committee that evaluates your grades. Requirements can differ between faculties of the same university.
If your school certificate does not give direct admission, you first go to a Studienkolleg and pass the Feststellungsprüfung — it is recognised by every university. The colleges listed here are this university's partners.
The general procedure is the same for all programmes of the university; the required grade, language and additional requirements are on the page of each programme.

A programme is tied to a campus — when looking for housing, go by the campus, not by the university's main address.
Studying in Dortmund: housing, transport, costs →Two typical stops: a school certificate without direct admission and German below the required level. Both can be solved within a year, but plan them before you apply, not after a rejection.
Requirements and deadlines differ within one university. We will pick 3–5 programmes for your certificate and language and plan everything back from the deadline.
