Lehrstuhl Mathematik & InformatikArriving by plane (Düsseldorf)
When you arrive at Düsseldorf Airport look for the Sky-Train. Before entering the Sky-Train you need to buy a ticket (or you must have a Rail & Fly ticket). Use vending machines which have the sign VRR and get a ticket of category C (approx 12 €). If not yet validated, validate the ticket at the corresponding machines before you start the trip. This ticket is then valid for all parts of the trip to Bochum university.
First take the Sky-Train to Bahnhof Düsseldorf Flughafen. Then use a train to get to Hauptbahnhof Bochum. In case you use trains which are labeled by IC, ICE or EC, you will be asked to pay a substantial surcharge by the conductor; it is worth avoiding these trains.
For further information on how to get to the university look at "Arriving by train" below.
Arriving by train
After arriving at the main station (Hauptbahnhof) in Bochum look for the U-sign, leading you to the subways. You need to buy a ticket of category A from the vending machines which have a sign VRR (in case you have arrived at Bochum Hauptbahnhof with a ticket from the VRR, you do not need to buy another ticket if you are within the time limits). Use U35 direction (Richtung)Querenburg//Hustadt and exit at the stop University which you should arrive at after about 9 minutes.
To find your way on the campus please have a look at this map. The math department is located in the building IB, which is the second (counted from the audimax) of the four blue buildings on the map. Take an elevator to the 3rd floor. You will find our offices to your left hand side.
