We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn suspended monorail system , which conveniently connects the two campuses. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway S-Bahn.
There are two stations on North Campus. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".
In the area of methods, both directions are learned: qualitative-interpretative as well as quantitative research methods; research workshops enable research-based learning on concrete practical examples. A special highlight of the study program: the semester abroad is firmly integrated and you go abroad for half a year to a partner university: other study and life contexts are waiting for you before you start your Bachelor thesis at the TU Dortmund.
Courses on professional fields and key qualifications, writing workshops and language courses offer additional qualifications for professional practice. Above all, curiosity is called for! One should therefore have an interest in questions about social contexts and about individuals.
In everyday life, too, we constantly find explanations for the actions of others as well as their causes. Sociology as a science is characterized by the fact that it is not satisfied with short-cut everyday explanations - in the interest of avoiding prejudices and generalizations. Therefore, the willingness to get involved with new things is as important as a high level of motivation. Knowledge of English is very useful - at the latest helpful for the semester abroad - but no proof is required for admission to the program.
