Our Bachelor’s programmes at UvA Economics and Business include mathematics courses that demand excellent and mathematical statistical skills. That is why your secondary school diploma needs to have mathematics included in the final examination. For this programme, you need a Dutch VWO-B level of mathematics or a non-Dutch equivalent.
The following domains are defined for Dutch high-school students who take VWO-B level of mathematics: Skills, Functions, Graphs and Equations, Differential and Integral Calculus, Trigonometric Functions, and Coordinate Geometry

Please use the diploma calculator to see what level of mathematics you need to have included in your final examination on your secondary school diploma. Some students with specific diplomas will be asked to take an additional test (OMPT-D), next to their mathematical examination courses.
Additional mandatory OMPT-D test
As stated in the diploma calculator students with some specific secondary school diplomas need to take an additional mandatory OMPT-D test. This test, together with your final mathematical examination courses, will determine if your mathematics entry level is in order to start the programme. Make sure to take the test before the application deadline for this programme.
If your secondary school diploma does not meet the mathematics entry requirements you can take one of the mathematics B certificate courses. Please note that these courses are not available online, you need to take them in the Netherlands. These certificate courses cannot be used as a substitute for the OMPT-D test.
Undergraduate foundation programme
