The university is required to actively issue your degree once all curricular components have been completed. When the last result is booked in OSIRIS you will receive a letter from the Study Progress and Diploma (SPD) office that your degree has been issued. This active issuance means that:


  1. No adjustments or additions may be made to the grade list;
  2. You may no longer improve an already sufficient/passing exam result.


For the one year MSc programmes: please be aware that if you have passed all of your courses (including the master thesis trajectory) it will not be possible to do a resit for an already sufficient/passing Block 5 result, even if the formal resit period has not yet taken place. This may also be the case for an already sufficient/passing Block 4 course result, if the improved result is booked in OSIRIS after you have received confirmation that you have been awarded your degree.


Under certain predefined conditions and for certain predefined goals, RSM will accommodate students who wish to extend their studies to complete an Internship or go on Exchange by postponing issuance of their degree. Please check the programme and goal specific arrangements in the following sections. 


Please refer to the Postponement Degree Issuance 2023 document for complete information about the programmes and goal-specific arrangements linked here.
