About the course

A mathematical degree where you learn to build, program and interpret statistical and econometric models of economic questions. You can specialise in Econometrics or Data Science.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • You need at least 6 subjects from the established Leaving Certificate. At least 2 must be at Higher Level with H5 or better, and the other 4 need at least O6 (Ordinary Level) or H7 (Higher Level). You also need at least 350 CAO points. If your secondary education was in English in Ireland, you do not need an English test.
  • Maths must be one of your final exam subjects, at a level equivalent to Dutch VWO Mathematics B. UvA does not publish the Irish Maths grade on the programme page; Higher Level Maths is the safe choice. Depending on your diploma, UvA may require you to pass the OMPT-D online maths test (70% or more, 2 attempts, from €250) before the deadline.

Checked against the official University of Amsterdam website: September 2026 (2027 entry). The fee is for 2026/27, and the general Irish rule comes from a UvA page for the September 2026 intake, so confirm both with UvA. Always confirm details with the university before applying.
