You can open a bank account at the 'Sparkasse' or at the Volksbank', which are
located on the university campus. Several other bank institutes have offices in
Dortmund, you can pick one freely. Student accounts are usually free of charge.
When you open a bank account, you will have to present your passport and the
bank needs to know where the money in your account will be coming from
(parents, stipend, savings, etc.). The banks on campus are familiar with the needs
of foreign students and when you open your account, be sure to ask for an ATM
card. With this card, you can withdraw money from the ATMs of your bank

 PART II- LANGUAGE COURSE
Language course:
We offer you a MMT German course with the beginners level A1, but the
Department of Foreign Languages offers you German courses with different
levels. If you have already taken German classes, you can sign up for the
appropriate regular advanced course at the language center.
You can find more information about German courses at the TU Dortmund
University on this page.

Tandem:
You may also join the Tandem speaking project. The main idea is that two
students pair up and each one is helping the other one to learn his/her
language. You can register at zhb and say which language you are offering and
which language you want to learn. Then zhb is searching for someone who is
interested in your offer. Afterwards you can decide if you go to have some
coffee, cook something together, play games or do sports.
However you decide what you and your partner will do. So you will have the
chance to have a conversation and learn more about the language and the
culture of the other student.
