You have failed your examination? Application for a resit

The date for the resit is: Wednesday, 02 April 2025 between 09:00 and 14:00. An examination should be (re-)taken on the next resit date stipulated by the Language Centre.

2.  An exception can only be made for UNIcert® end-of-level examinations (UNIcert® I, Part 4, German UNIcert® II, English UNIcert® II, Part 3, separate UNIcert® III exam). In these cases, all candidates can apply for a resit. However, a fee of €30 (resp. €79 for external course guests) is payable for all persons not listed under 1.
