Please note:

  • the oral supplementary examination is only possible once per degree program,
  • the oral supplementary examination is only permissible for written examination performances,
  • the oral supplementary examination is not evaluated independently, but its result is included in the final evaluation of the second repeat examination. On the basis of the supplementary oral examination, the grade of the second resit examination is set at 4.0 or 5.0 overall.
  • the supplementary oral examination cannot be used if the candidate has not taken part in the written examination or has handed in a blank sheet of paper or if there has been deception or a breach of order in accordance with § 16.
  • the supplementary oral examination does not serve to improve grades for passed repeat examinations; the examination can only be used to determine whether the second repeat examination can still be graded as "insufficient" (and thus definitively failed) or can still be graded as "sufficient" (and thus passed).

The supplementary oral examination can only be taken if a corresponding application is submitted by the student concerned to the relevant examination board within one month of the announcement of the examination result of the second resit examination. If no application is received within this period, the subject examination is deemed to have been definitively failed.
