Change of examination regulations

On this page you will find information on the change of examination regulations of the Bachelor’s program in Chemistry.

If you are thinking about changing the examination regulations, we recommend a consultation with Mr. Klöss. Simply come to the open digital consultation hours.

We recommend the change of the examination regulations currently (August 2023) for students who still lack achievements from the first three semesters (especially if the TMCA module is missing).
