Exam Dates

The THGA Presidium has set the examination periods. Please note that examinations may overlap. In these exceptional cases, the examinations are to be split between both examination dates. We kindly ask you to take this into account in your planning.

Please note: The two examination dates are offered to simplify planning and organisation; there is no entitlement to repeat missed or failed examinations from the previous date on the subsequent date.

Cancellations of examinations remain possible beyond the registration period up to one week before the respective examination as well as for important reasons (please note that for the calculation of the cancellation deadline, the date in the portal with the time is taken into account, i.e. the cancellation must be made one week before the stated start of the examination).

Oral exams also have fixed starting dates during the exam weeks. In your exam schedule, you will find the starting date and time; any other dates and times you will be informed upon by the examiners. If you want to de-register from an exam, the start date and time fixed by the examinations office is the binding deadline. This applies to all exam candidates.

You can find the overview of all examinations of the summer semester 2024 (first and second sitting) here.

Examination phase summer semester 2024

The room schedule for the second examination phase for the summer semester 2024 can be found here. If the examination dates stored here differ from the dates in the portal, the information in HIS is binding, at which time the examination registration also takes place.

Further information on the examinations, e.g. on registering for examinations, can be found here.
