Can I write the thesis if my dispensation request is rejected?

No, this is not possible.

Are the results from courses during block 1 bachelor-3 taken into account?

Yes, your results of those courses will be taken into account.

I miss three courses from bachelor-2: is there a chance that my dispensation request will be approved?

My dispensation request has been rejected. I have already finished block 1 and 2 of bachelor-3 meaning that I will not have obligatory education in those blocks next year. Is it possible to enroll later in the year?
