During the Bachelor's program in Actuarial Science, you'll learn how to calculate risks. For example, what's the probability of a factory burning down? And what would the financial damage be if that happened? How likely is it that you'll live to be 101, meaning your pension fund will have to pay out your pension for 45 years? As an actuary or risk manager, you'll calculate risks, draw conclusions, and advise companies on their results.
During the first two years of the Bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science, you will largely complete the same programme as students from the Bachelor's degree programme in Econometrics and Data Science .
During your bachelor's program, you'll directly apply the knowledge you've acquired to real-world business cases with concrete data. Together with your fellow students, you'll develop solutions for challenges facing organizations and society. This gives you the opportunity to explore the actuarial field.

Admission Requirements
To check if your diploma is equivalent to a Dutch VWO diploma, we provide a diploma finder to check the international requirements. If your education is not listed, you can still apply. We assess your documents on an individual basis.
How to check the diploma requirements:
Type in your country or diploma Check the basic diploma requirements. These are the minimum diploma entry requirements for every student Check the extra/alternative diploma requirements per Bachelor’s programme. These are the additional requirements including mathematics requirements, grades, entry exams or extra academic requirements.
Information for HBO-p students If you have obtained or will obtain a Dutch HBO-p certificate, you can apply for this Bachelor's programme. In addition, you also need to have the right level of mathematics proficiency:
VWO Wiskunde B State Exam Mathematics B (registration deadline 31 December) CCVX Mathematics B In addition to the above diploma and mathematics requirements, non-EU/EEA students are required to submit an English proficiency test.
Our Bachelor’s programmes at UvA Economics and Business include mathematics courses that demand excellent mathematical and statistical skills. Given the significant role mathematics plays in our programmes, your secondary school diploma must include mathematics in the final examination. We expect all secondary school students to have successfully completed mathematics with a passing grade. For this programme, you need a Dutch VWO-B level of mathematics or a non-Dutch equivalent.
The following domains are defined for Dutch high-school students who take VWO-B level of mathematics: Skills, Functions, Graphs and Equations, Differential and Integral Calculus, Trigonometric Functions, and Coordinate Geometry
Which secondary school diplomas with mathematics are equivalent to a Dutch VWO B level of mathematics? Some examples are:
International Baccalaureate: Mathematics HL or Analysis and Approaches HL, with a minimum of 4 points. However, a grade of at least 5 points is highly recommended. German Abitur: Leistungsfach Mathematik in Abiturprüfung. A grade of at least 10 is highly recommended. European Baccalaureate: 5-period Mathematics. A grade of 7.5 points or higher is highly recommended. Do you have another diploma? Please use the diploma finder to see the specific mathematics requirement per country and/or diploma type. Some students also need an additional mathematics test (OMPT-D test). If your diploma type requires an additional OMPT-D test, this will also be stated in the Diploma Calculator under de Extra Requirements per programme.
Additional mandatory OMPT-D test As stated in the diploma calculator, students with certain secondary school diplomas are required to obtain an additional mandatory OMPT-D test. Without a sufficient test score, you do not have the right mathematics entry level and can therefore not start with this Bachelor programme. Please take the OMPT-D test before the application deadline. If you are in doubt, please submit your application as soon as possible and we will first determine if you are eligible without obtaining a sufficient OMPT-D test result.
