Information about the Oral Supplemental Exam for RWTH Aachen Bachelor and Master Students

With the implementation of the framework examination regulations for Bachelor and Master courses of study and the ensuing adaption of the examination regulation to the framework examination regulations, all RWTH Aachen Bachelor and Master students have the right to a oral supplemental exam, if they have not passed the written repeated exam. They must be enrolled in accordance with the framework examination regulations or have changed into the respective adapted examination regulations. Please refer to section 14 of the Bachelor Examination Regulation and section 13 of the Master Examination Regulation to see whether or not you have the right to an oral supplemental exam,
