Please note that all of the documents uploaded to the cloud must be printed and submitted as signed original documents as soon as it is possible to print them again. To arrange submission via the cloud, please use our contact form and send us a message so that we can set up a folder for you. You must have logged into the cloud and activated your account at least once beforehand in order for us to share this cloud folder with you.

If you have received an email with information about picking up your graduation documents and certificates, you can pick up the documents from the Faculty Service Office during our office hours.

Oral examinations are possible in consultation with the examiner. If you have applied to complete such an exam, please contact your examiner to organise an appointment.

On third attempts, oral exams will take place with at least some of the attendees physically present (the examiner/s and the student must be together in one room, the other committee member/s can attend via video conference), provided that all participants have agreed to be physically present. If this is not the case (if there are objections to carrying out the exam with the participants physically present), an application to postpone the deadline for completing the exam can be made in writing to the chair of the Examinations Committee. For this reason, it is also possible to extend the deadline for submitting the application. For all other attempts, the exam can be carried out completely in digital form.

For oral examinations and colloquia, presenters are permitted to remove their FFP2 masks when speaking. All other participants must wear their FFP2 (or higher-quality) masks at all times. The distance between the person speaking and those listening must be at least 2.5 metres.

Students are responsible for obtaining their own OP or FFP2 (or higher-quality) masks.
