Which OMPT does Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) require?
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), based in Rotterdam, accepts the OMPT to clear a maths deficiency for social-science and health bachelors such as Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, Pedagogical Sciences, Public Administration, Health Sciences, Medicine and IBCoM, plus Business Administration.
Social-science and psychology programmes usually map to the statistics-oriented OMPT-E, while business programmes map to OMPT-A. Note that the Erasmus School of Economics is handled separately and is stricter.
Programmes typically map to the variants below, but mappings change — confirm the exact OMPT variant on your programme's admission page.

What these variants cover
- OMPT-A — algebra core (numbers, algebra, linear & quadratic equations, functions, exponentials & logarithms) through introductory differentiation (52 questions / 120 min).
- OMPT-E — the statistics-flavoured variant: an algebra core plus descriptive statistics, probability, combinatorics, random variables and common distributions, with no calculus (40 questions / 120 min).
Sitting the wrong variant usually means paying and sitting again, so the single most important step is to confirm the exact variant your programme lists before you book.
Why prepare before you book
The official OMPT is not a free formative test. A single attempt costs €240 (€270 for OMPT-D/F), at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) you typically get up to 2 attempts, and results can take up to 8 working days — long enough to threaten an enrolment deadline if you fail. Pass marks for the OMPT generally run from 55% to 75% depending on the programme.
Attempt limits and cut-off dates differ by faculty, so review how many OMPT attempts Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) allows and check Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR)'s OMPT deadline and Studielink dates before you commit to an exam slot.
Walking in underprepared is the expensive option. Train to the pass mark first — for the price of a couple of coffees — then book the official exam once you are consistently scoring above it.
