Mannheim Master in Data Science

The examination committee may decide to extend certain deadlines, provided there is a valid reason why you are unable to meet the deadline in question. This might include deadlines for

• the preparation period for your final thesis
• the limit to the maximum period of study

As a rule, extensions will only be granted if you cannot be held accountable for missing the deadline in question. Valid reasons for missing a deadline might include:

• a long period of illness
• a permanent disability
• family obligations

For further details, please see the examination regulations for the Mannheim Master in Data Science program.

Extension requests must be submitted to the examination committee in writing. Please make sure to indicate your address, student ID number and e-mail address in case we need to contact you for follow-up questions. We also ask you to state the semester in which you started your master's program so that we know straight away which examination regulations apply to you.

The examination regulations stipulate that students need to resit any examinations they fail or did not take due to illness at the earliest opportunity. If this is the case, you will be automatically registered by Student Services (mandatory registration). Further information is provided by Student Services.

Your request must include a detailed justification explaining why you should be granted an extension of the applicable deadline.

Please make sure to attach any documents justifying your claim (if applicable to the individual case). Documents of this kind may include:

• medical certificates
• (birth) certificates
• official letters from public authorities / agencies / institutions

The examination committee will then consider your request and either grant or deny you the extension. You will receive an official notification outlining the reasons for the decision.
