Long-distance and air travellers
The travelling distance between the airports in Frankfurt, Dortmund, Münster/Osnabrück, Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf and the Ruhr University is two hours at the most. Düsseldorf airport is the most easily accessible one, with up to eight direct trains (RE1 / RE6 / RE11) per hour running between the airport and Bochum’s main train station; the journey takes about half an hour. Frankfurt airport is easily accessible with ICE.
Train travel and public transport
At Bochum’s main train station, ICE, IC, EC, regional trains and city trains arrive and depart in quick succession. You can reach the Ruhr University, which has its own station, easily by catching the underground (U-Bahn) train U35 (CampusLinie). On workdays, the U35 (going to Bochum Hustadt) departs in five-minute intervals, and it takes less than 10 minutes to go from the main train station to the university station.
By car – Recommended route
Motorists can reach the Ruhr-Universität easily via Germany’s – and especially North Rhine-Westphalia’s – dense motorway network. The fastest route is that via the motorway junction Bochum/Witten, where the motorways A43 and A44 meet. Simply take the exit for Bochum-Querenburg, follow the signs for “Ruhr-Universität” and, once there, look for the (electronic) information boards.
