Attempts

Bachelor & Master

If you fail an exam, you may retake it within a period of four semesters, in accordance with Section 21(1) of the General Provisions of the bachelor's degree and master's degree Examination Regulations. This period begins with the semester following the first attempt at the exam. You therefore have a total of five semesters to take the exam; the number of attempts is irrelevant.

According to Section 5(8) of the General Provisions of the bachelor's degree and master's degree examination regulations, an “exam” refers to module, combination, or partial exams. The specific type of exam is specified in the subject-specific examination regulations for your subject.

Exception: Bachelor or master thesis do have only two attempts.

There is no automatic registration.
