Important Note:

Auf Grund der gegebenen Situation können wir aktuell noch keine rechtssicheren Aussagen darüber treffen, in welcher Form schriftliche Prüfungen im Sommersemester 2020 abgenommen werden. Natürlich hoffen wir darauf, dass sich die allgemeine Lage bis zum Juli wieder so entspannt, dass Präsenzprüfungen an der Universität möglich sein werden. Wir sind hier in ständiger Kommunikation mit dem Präsidium und werden Sie umgehend informieren, sobald die Goethe-Universität hier verbindliche Entscheidungen trifft. Dies kann in Anbetracht der Lage auch recht kurzfristig geschehen und wir bitten Sie hierfür um Verständnis. Den jeweils aktuellen Stand der Universitätsregelungen zu Studium und Prüfungen finden Sie unter:
