Make-up exams are opened in graduate courses. With the decision of the Institute Board of Directors, students can also retake the courses they have been successful in order to increase their GPA.
In order to be successful in a course, master, PhD/art proficiency students must have received at least a (CB) grade as the end of the semester. For detailed information, see DEU Postgraduate Education Regulations.
