University in Dortmund, Germany
On 4 April 2019, Ursula Gather, Rector of TU Dortmund University abolished the institutes for German Language and Literature as well as English and American Studies.

Following the Zeitgeist of the late 1960s in Germany, the university was built "on the meadows" (auf der grünen Wiese) about 2 mile (3 km) outside of downtown Dortmund. It consists of two campuses, North and South, which, since 1984, have been linked by an automated hanging monorail system, the H Bahn, that crosses the nature reserve between the campuses at a height of about 50 feet (15 m). One of the most prominent buildings of the university is the Mathetower (Mathematics Tower), which houses the Faculty of Mathematics.

Over 1,000 third party funded projects, including a range of collaborative projects, such as (transregional) Collaborative Research Centers, Research Units, Research Training Groups, a "Cluster of Excellence" and several Horizon 2020 research consortia. Nearly 300 professors teach and research at TU Dortmund University. The university is particularly known for research in its four profile areas: Materials, Production Technology and Logistics, Chemical Biology, Drug Research and Process Engineering, Modeling, Data Analysis, Modeling and Simulation and Education, Schooling and Inclusion, in which it celebrates research successes beyond disciplinary limits, and at an outstanding international level.

TU Dortmund (along with the universities of Paderborn and Karlsruhe) brought the Internet to Germany in the 1980s. The first point of registration for de domains was at the Dortmund University Department of Computer Science in 1986. The national Domain Name System service was started in 1988. The involvement of Dortmund University employees in internet registry and administration ended in 1993. To this day, the university has registered the domain udo. edu (udo being short for Universität Dortmund), although the edu domain is today restricted to United States affiliated institutions. One of the four German competency centers for machine learning (Competence Center Machine Learning Rhine Ruhr, ML2R), is located at the TU Dortmund. The machine learning software RapidMiner began at the TU Dortmund's artificial intelligence unit.

In the QS World University Rankings for 2024, the university was positioned within the 851–900 range globally, making it the 44th at the national level.

Former president of Germany, Johannes Rau was awarded an honorary doctorate from the university in 2004. Carl Djerassi was awarded an honorary doctorare for his science in fiction in 2009. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, was awarded an honorary doctorate on 16 December 2018 for his contribution to European politics and the debate on European values.
