Le plus simple est de prendre le train S11 directement au terminal jusque à la gare centrale de Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf Hbf, Hbf signifie Hauptbahnhof). En sortant de la douane il faut aller vers la droite et puis prendre des escaliers roulants vers le bas pour atteindre la plateforme de la ligne S11. Il y a des petits signes verts S11 dans le terminal pour vous diriger. Sur la plateforme il faudra acheter un billet "A" (2,40 EUR), qui est valable pour tout le trajet vers l'université. La ligne S11 circule toutes les 20 minutes en journée, toutes les 30 minutes en soirée et le week-end.
Une fois au Düsseldorf Hbf il faut descendre au sous-sol et prendre la ligne U79 en direction de l'université et sortir au dernier arrêt: Universtiät Ost/Botanischer Garten (voir plan) et puis marcher 500 metres.
