Mathematics Certificate Courses

If you do not meet the mathematics requirement for a Bachelor’s programme at UvA Economics and Business, you are able to fulfil this requirement by completing a Mathematics Certificate Course. Unless a mathematics certificate course is already mandatory for your diploma type. If you are in doubt, please submit your application as soon as possible, and we will first determine if you are eligible without obtaining a mathematics certificate.

If you already scheduled your mathematics certificate course, please upload a proof of registration or your results from the mathematics certificate course in your application. Without a sufficient mathematic certificate score, your application will be rejected.

The type of mathematics certificate course depends on your choice of Bachelor’s programme.
