Third Attempts within the Fundamentals and Orientation Examination (GOP) of B.Sc. Physics

Students who have failed twice exactly one of the three module exams for PH0001, CIT513016 and CIT513017 after the winter semester or for PH0002, PH0005 and CIT513018 after the summer semester after the second examination dates of the module exams from the second part of the fundamentals and orientation examination (GOP) in the Bachelor's program in Physics will be given a third attempt in accordance with §46 sentence 2 FPSO.

By definition, the third attempt can only be organized after all three second dates of the module exams of the respective GOP part have been set as valid.

Please note that this deadline also applies if you already had your second failed attempt in the examination period directly after the lecture period, for example because you were ill during a single module exam in the previous year. In this case, the third attempt will regularly take place at the beginning of the lecture period of the following semester as described above. In this case you may request to take the regular module exam in the second examination period as your third trial instead of the third trial at the beginning of the lecture period of the following semester - to do so, contact studium@nat.tum.de before the registration end of the exams from the second examination period.

Please note that the date is also independent of whether the other two dates from this GOP part have been passed or not yet passed due to withdrawal from the examination due to illness, but examination attempts are still open. You will receive the third attempt at the end of the semester in which you have failed this GOP module examination for the second time. After a positive third attempt, any remaining open GOP module exams from the same GOP part must be taken when they are offered again (i.e. in the following year) - the third attempt in this GOP part is then used up.

Eligible students are automatically determined and informed by e-mail as soon as the three second attempts have been set valid. It is therefore not necessary to register for the third attempts.

The third attempts are carried out by the examiner of the failed module. The rescue attempts take the form of a written examination, a written and oral examination or an oral examination. The students concerned will be informed of the form of examination and the time and place of the examination by the Examination Board at least one week before the third attempt.

If sickness or other compelling reasons prevent you from taking the third trial, the regular rules for Exam Registration Withdrawal in Case of e.g. Sickness apply. In these cases you have to take the next regular exam date (usually a little less than a year in the future) in this module as your third trial.

All third attempts after WS 2025/6 will take place after completion of the GOP module exams in the second examination period. The last exam is PH0001 at 2026-Apr-08.

Registration is not required. Qualified candidates will be automatically identified by the Student Office and registered for the third attempt in TUMonline. The individual dates will be fixed as soon as possible, but we have to wait for the finalisation of all three exam dates from the second period – you will be contacted via TUMonline/email.
