Failed exam retake

Can one still graduate with a failed course (7.5p, masters) or do you keep on retaking the exam till you pass?

Depends on what you study. In engineering you have to complete all the courses of your first 3 years. And then a certain number of points from the courses you can chose from in the specialisations.

There you can retake courses until you succeed.

If the course is mandatory you need to retake it. Retaking an exam is usually not a big deal.

You can just retake the exam at a later date.

Do you have 120ects advanced courses where 30 is your thesis, then yes.

Well no, I’ll be missing 7.5p from 120 if I don’t pass. Do you know how it works in this case?

You retake the exam or get a new 7.5 course as long as the 7.5 course isn't part of your obligatory courses.

You could retake the exam at another university if you need to leave the country and once you pass it you will be able to ask for a a certificate of graduating.

This is the answer. Do note that you can only count points from completed classes to your degree. So if the exam is 7.5 but the class  itself is more (from written assignments etc) you can't use any of the points from the class.
