The application process differs, depending on whether you have completed your prior education in the Netherlands or abroad.
  • Students with Dutch prior education

    FORMAL REQUIREMENTS:

    The Teaching and Examinations Regulations for the programme state that the following students may be admitted:

    1) students with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, awarded by a Dutch University;

    2) students with a Beta-Gamma Bachelor from UvA with Major Mathematics;

    3) students who have successfully completed a Bachelor's degree in Econometrics or in one of the Exact Sciences awarded by a Dutch University, or those possessing a Bachelor's degree from Amsterdam University College with a Science Major, may be admitted if in addition they have completed the 30 EC Minor Mathematical Themes from the Bachelor Wiskunde (Wiskunde is Dutch for Mathematics) of the University of Amsterdam.

    The Admissions Board may also grant admission when concluding that the previous education of the candidate is equivalent to the provisions from (1) and (3).

    To help you decide if your background is equivalent to a Bachelor in Mathematics of a Dutch university: such a Bachelor typically contains roughly twenty 6 EC courses on topics as:

    1) Algebra and Geometry (groups, vector spaces, rings, fields, modules, categories, Galois theory; representation theory)

    2) Analysis (complex, numerical and functional analysis; topology; differential equations, differential geometry)

    3) Stochastics (probability, statistics, measure theory, Markov chains, Bayesian statistics)

    4) Miscellaneous (logic, set theory, information theory, combinatorics, discrete mathematics)

    The format of such courses is mostly formal and axiomatic with emphasis on proofs/foundations.

    NO PRE-REGISTRATION ADVICE

    Please understand that we cannot give any individual pre-registation advice to discuss your eligibility by e-mail or otherwise: it is the Admissions Board that decides on this matter.

    Hence, to find out your eligibility to our Master's programme, please apply for the programme in the formal way through the UvA website and submit your complete files and motivation.

    Disclaimer: knowledge obtained through self-studies cannot be taken into account, as we do not offer any admission exams. You should have diploma's and certificates to support your application already yourself.

    Tip: you can join an online session during the UvA Master's Week to learn more about the admission requirements and to get a good impression of the programme, and to ask questions!
