• Did you apply for an SBE bachelor’s programme or Business Engineering and did we ask you for more information about the mathematics requirement to have it assessed by one of our academic staff members (task in Portal: ‘prove your sufficiency in mathematics’)? Then contact ba-admissions-sbe@maastrichtuniversity.nl

When you have finished the so-called OMPT-exam, you can inform mr. Dirk Tempelaar about this. He will then check your results and, if you pass the exam, create a certificate for you. SBE Admissions receives those certificates and will check them on a regular basis to inform the SSC Admission & Registrations Office of the outcome. The SSC will then process it in the system, which you will see in the MyApplication portal. To speed up the process, you can of course upload it yourself under ‘Prove your proficiency in mathematics’, then it will also be processed at the SSC Admission & Registrations Office.
