Leiden University OMPT Requirements: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

Leiden University's Data Science and Artificial Intelligence bachelor's program publishes a clear, directly confirmed OMPT requirement on its own admission-and-application page — a useful data point for a program in one of the more quantitatively demanding fields covered in this series.

The requirement

Leiden requires OMPT-D with a minimum score of 60% for applicants to the BSc in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence who need to demonstrate their math level for admission.

What Leiden's page doesn't specify

The number of attempts allowed isn't stated on the admission-requirements page we reviewed. If knowing your exact attempt allowance matters for your planning — for example, if you want to know how much room you have to recover from a rough first attempt — we'd recommend confirming directly with Leiden's admissions office rather than assuming a specific number.

OMPT-D in context

A 60% bar on OMPT-D is on the more moderate end of what we've seen for this same variant across the universities in this series — UvA's Econometrics and Data Science program, for comparison, also requires OMPT-D but at a 70% threshold, and Leiden's own Chemistry-adjacent peers at other universities have specified similar or slightly higher bars. If you've researched OMPT-D requirements elsewhere in this series, Leiden's 60% threshold should feel comparatively achievable once your preparation covers the same topic range.

Preparing for a data-science-oriented math requirement

Given the program's focus, expect the exam to lean into topics that support later coursework in statistics and computational methods — functions, differentiation, basic probability, and algebraic manipulation are worth prioritizing alongside the calculus-adjacent material typical of OMPT-D.

Exam.ify's OMPT-D-level practice tests, with full timed mock exams and complete worked solutions, are built to support this preparation. As always, confirm the current score and any attempt-limit details directly with Leiden University, since requirements can be updated between intakes.
