Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
Applicants are required to prove their proficiency in mathematics by submitting a SAT test result with a minimum score of 500 on the mathematics section. Note that the test required is the general SAT test, not the mathematics subject test. Alternatively, ACT test results may be submitted with a minimum score of 21 for the mathematics test. Applicants who obtain a score of 550 or higher for SAT or 23 or higher for ACT can register for the fast track of the courses in Mathematics and Statistics. Applicants are responsible to timely make an appointment for one of both tests themselves. Test results are valid for maximum 5 years. An exemption from this requirement is granted to applicants with a high school or university degree awarded by a recognized educational institution from a country that has ratified the Lisbon Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Union. A list of the countries that ratified the Lisbon Recognition Convention can you find here. Applicants who obtained an European or an International Baccalaureat are exempted from doing the SAT/ACT test. Applicants who have been awarded the General Certificate of Education (GCE) can be eligible for admission if they can prove to have passed at least 3 A Level subjects. Of these A Level subjects, at least 1 has to be relevant (f.ex. mathematics of business studies). If the GCE A Level certificates have been obtained in a country that has not ratified the Lisbon Recognition Convention, candidates are required to submit an additional proof of proficiency in mathematics (SAT/ACT, cf. supra).
