If you fall ill, you must inform Exam Administration before the start of the examination. Please use the contact form.

In addition, a physician of your choice must confirm that you are unable to sit the exam. In this case, you have to use the template provided by the Central Examination Office.

Please ensure that you complete the form in full (especially the examination(s) concerned, date, your signature). Please make sure that the physician enters the correct time period for your likely incapacity to sit the exam and signs and stamps the form.

It is imperative that the medical certificate is issued on the day of the examination. In the case of prolonged illness, a medical certificate can also be accepted which has been issued before the day of the examination. Medical certificates issued later cannot be accepted.
You must send your original certificate form to the Examination Office of the Department of Economics as soon as possible.
