Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam: OMPT requirements by programme
VU Amsterdam spreads five different OMPT variants across its faculties, from A/F on the business school to D for Computer Science and E for Psychology. Boswell-Beta and CCVX certificates are accepted throughout; SAT and ACT are not.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam spreads five different OMPT variants across its faculties, which makes it the university where reading your exact programme row matters most. The School of Business and Economics gives applicants a choice on its main tracks: OMPT-A at 65% or OMPT-F at 60% for Economics and Business Economics and for International Business Administration. The econometrics degrees want OMPT-B at 60%. Computer Science sits OMPT-D, Psychology and Law in Society sit OMPT-E, both at 60%.
The odd one out is Artificial Intelligence: a science programme that asks for OMPT-A, and at 70% — a higher bar than the business school sets for the same test. Do not assume the science faculty means the science variant.
Two things hold across all of VU: Boswell-Beta and CCVX certificates are accepted everywhere as alternatives, and SAT and ACT scores are not accepted anywhere. If your plan was to reuse an American test score, VU is the university where that plan fails. Given the A-or-F choice on the business tracks, I usually point students to the A: the 5-point-higher bar buys you a shorter test with more prep material available.
| Programme | Variant | Minimum score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economics and Business EconomicsSchool of Business and Economics | OMPT-A / OMPT-F | 65% (OMPT-A) / 60% (OMPT-F) | Either variant works, each with its own minimum. Boswell-Beta and CCVX count too; SAT and ACT do not. source |
| International Business AdministrationSchool of Business and Economics | OMPT-A / OMPT-F | 65% (OMPT-A) / 60% (OMPT-F) | Same rule as EBE: A at 65 or F at 60, with Boswell-Beta and CCVX as alternatives and no SAT/ACT route. source |
| Econometrics and Operations ResearchSchool of Business and Economics | OMPT-B | 60% (a 5.5 out of 10) | Boswell-Beta and CCVX also accepted; SAT and ACT are not. source |

Quick answers
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam OMPT questions, answered
Which OMPT does VU Amsterdam require?
It varies by programme: OMPT-A at 65% or OMPT-F at 60% for the main business tracks, OMPT-B at 60% for econometrics, OMPT-D at 60% for Computer Science, OMPT-E at 60% for Psychology and Law in Society, and OMPT-A at 70% for Artificial Intelligence.
Does VU Amsterdam accept SAT or ACT scores instead of the OMPT?
No. VU accepts Boswell-Beta and CCVX certificates as alternatives on every programme listed here, but SAT and ACT are explicitly not accepted.
Should I sit OMPT-A or OMPT-F for VU's business programmes?
Either works — A needs 65%, F needs 60%. I lean toward the A: it is a shorter multiple-format test with a well-trodden syllabus, while the F is 21 long-form problems where a single blank costs more.
