Compensation
Under specific conditions and only when completing a study year nominally, it is possible to compensate insufficient exam grades within the Knowledge and Insight domain of that academic year. The compensation scheme is described in article 5.8 of the current Education and Examination Regulations.
The compensation scheme does not apply if a student needs more than one academic year to obtain all results for all exam components of a specific year.
Calculator tool
The Medicine program offers a calculator tool* so you can assess whether you meet the conditions for compensation. No rights can be derived from the use of this tool (see the OER).
