Examination deadlines

The examination regulations contain provisions specifying the deadline by which a GOP or final examination must be taken. If a student has not taken the relevant examination by this date for reasons for which they are responsible, the examination will be deemed failed for the first time. The resit examination must then be taken within a specified period of time.

If this does not happen, the examination counts as failed at the final attempt. After failing an examination at the final attempt, you will no longer be possible for you to enroll in the same degree program or the same subject at the same type of higher education institution in the Federal Republic of Germany.

These provisions are intended to encourage students to use their time at university wisely.
