Universities that accept the OMPT

The OMPT's home market. Dutch research universities use it to close a maths deficiency for applicants whose diploma lacks VWO wiskunde A or B, and the alternatives are almost always the same three: a Boswell-Beta certificate, the CCVX voortentamen, or a university's own entrance exam. Scores run from Hanze's 55% to the 75% that Maastricht's business school, Utrecht, Nyenrode and RSM all ask for. The calendar is set by Studielink: 15 January for programmes with selection (numerus fixus), 1 May for most others, and non-EU applicants often face an earlier institutional date. Attempt caps matter here more than anywhere: the Erasmus School of Economics reads only your first attempt, UvA's OMPT-F business route allows one, and most others count two or three.

  Erasmus University Rotterdam

  Rotterdam

  Rotterdam is unforgiving: the Erasmus School of Economics reads only your first attempt, and its econometrics bachelor wants over 75% on OMPT-D. Rotterdam School of Management allows two attempts at 75% on OMPT-A or F (65% on B or D), due by 15 March and valid two years. EUR's central deficiency page adds OMPT-E for Health Sciences, Psychology and others.

  Nyenrode Business Universiteit

Flemish universities ask for the OMPT only from applicants with a diploma earned outside the EEA and Switzerland, and they set the bar high: KU Leuven's business school and Antwerp both want OMPT-A at 75%, while KU Leuven's engineering-side degrees take OMPT-D at 60%. Both universities accept SAT or ACT maths sections instead, which the Dutch universities mostly refuse. UCLL is different again: OMPT-A at 60% stands in for the SAT on a general admission route for professional bachelors.

  KU Leuven

  Leuven / Brussels

  KU Leuven asks for the OMPT on three English-taught bachelors, from applicants whose diploma comes from outside the EEA and Switzerland. Business Administration sits OMPT-A at 75%, Business Engineering sits OMPT-D at 60%, and Engineering Technology moves from OMPT-D to OMPT-G at 60% for the 2027-28 intake.

  UCLL (University Colleges Leuven-Limburg)

Two business schools, one variant. NHH in Bergen and BI in Oslo both take OMPT-F at 60% for their data-science-flavoured business bachelors, with two attempts and a two-year validity at NHH. The constraint is the calendar: Norwegian applications close in the winter, NHH wants documentation by 15 February, and standard OMPT grading takes about eight business days. Non-EU applicants have paid tuition at Norwegian public institutions since 2023, which is worth checking before you plan around the free-education reputation.

  NHH Norwegian School of Economics

  Bergen

  NHH accepts OMPT-F at 60% for its Bachelor in Business, Economics and Data Science, two attempts, valid two years, uploaded to Søknadsweb by 15 February. It is the only listed maths route for applicants from many non-EU countries, including the United States.

Finnish institutions use the OMPT in their separate or rolling admission rounds for non-EU applicants, as an alternative to an entrance exam or the SAT. LUT holds every bachelor to 60% and varies the variant by field; Arcada publishes 50%, the lowest bar in this table, with three attempts allowed; Turku UAS accepts any variant at 55%. Rolling admission means places fill as applications arrive, so an early sitting is the whole strategy.

  LUT University

  Lappeenranta / Lahti

  LUT holds every bachelor in its international rolling admission to the same 60% and picks the variant by field: G for chemical engineering, D for computational science, B or D for the engineering group, F for the business school. SAT or ACT work instead, two attempts are counted, and a result is valid for one year.

  Arcada University of Applied Sciences

  Helsinki

  Arcada gives each of its three separate-application bachelors its own variant, all at 50%, the lowest published bar on this list, with three attempts allowed. The score must be verifiable in the OMPT database by 26 April 2027, and OMPT applicants get €240 off first-year tuition.

Lithuanian universities use the OMPT differently from the Dutch model: as proof of maths for applicants from specific countries or qualification types, often replacing the school maths grade in a calculated entrance score. Vilnius University and Vytautas Magnus publish programme-by-programme tables (including master's degrees), Mykolas Romeris runs one 55% rule with a short OMPT-E list, VILNIUS TECH names no variant, and Kaunas University of Technology wants 75% on A or D by 1 April. Two attempts per year is the common cap.

  Vilnius University

  Vilnius / Kaunas / Šiauliai

  Vilnius University's OMPT list is the longest anywhere: around fifty bachelor's and master's programmes across nine faculties, using every variant from A to G. The default bar is 55% and two attempts a year; the mathematics and informatics degrees want 70%.

The two Católica business schools use the OMPT for international applicants whose home-country exams have no Portuguese entrance-exam equivalent. Lisbon publishes 70% without naming a variant; Porto accepts OMPT-A in place of its own internal maths exam and publishes no minimum.

  Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics

  Lisbon

  CLSBE wants a 70% OMPT score on its three international undergraduate programmes for International Student Status applicants without an eligible national maths exam, allows two attempts, and never names the variant letter on its pages: the store assigns it by programme when you register.

Chulalongkorn's School of Integrated Innovation lists OMPT-B at 65% as one of several maths qualifications for its international BAScii programme, next to SAT, ACT, IB HL and A-Level maths. Most applicants arrive with one of those already; the OMPT is the route for students who do not.
