University of Amsterdam: OMPT requirements by programme
UvA is the widest spread of any Dutch university: OMPT-A for Psychology and PPLE, OMPT-F for the standard economics and business tracks, and OMPT-D at 70% for the quantitative ones. Watch the attempt caps, some routes allow only one.
The University of Amsterdam has the widest OMPT spread of any Dutch university, and its attempt caps are the trap to watch. Psychology and the PPLE college both want OMPT-A at 70%, with KdVI courses or James Boswell certificates as alternatives. Business Administration and Economics and Business Economics take OMPT-F at 60% — but with one attempt only, a rule that turns a casual first sitting into a serious mistake. The quantitative tracks (Business Analytics, Econometrics and Data Science) want 70% on OMPT-D, softened by up to three attempts, though at roughly €250 in test fees per sitting that generosity has a price.
Actuarial Science is the interesting case: 70% on OMPT-D with three attempts, or 60% on OMPT-F with one. Given the D's three-hour long-form format, students who trust their consistency often prefer the single-shot F; students who want room for error take the D.
Whatever your track, note that these are mandatory extra tests for certain diploma types — an OMPT pass does not repair missing final-exam maths at UvA. Confirm your own diploma's position with admissions before spending anything.
