OMPT for Maastricht University: which variant you need and how to prepare

Which OMPT does Maastricht University require?

Maastricht University accepts the OMPT to clear a maths deficiency for STEM bachelors including Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Science. (The School of Business and Economics runs a separate maths requirement.)

These computing- and data-oriented bachelors map to OMPT-D, the most maths-intensive variant.

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-D — the calculus-intensive STEM variant: full differentiation, trigonometry, geometry and integration, designed around the Dutch Wiskunde B level (21 long open questions / 180 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 Maastricht University 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.

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.

Because a resit is not always an option, check how many OMPT attempts Maastricht University allows before you settle on a test date, and plan your booking around Maastricht University's OMPT deadline and Studielink dates so a second attempt still fits inside your enrolment window.

When you are ready to book, see OMPT registration & test dates for the step-by-step process.
