Details of maths required for admission
You must have taken maths as an examination subject at secondary school and achieved a good grade in the appropriate level of maths. Different majors require different skills in maths and you can find the requirements per major in the foldouts below.
Please note that if your specific math programme is not listed on our website under the foldout sections above, you will need to provide the results of the OMPT (Online Mathematics Placement Test) set for your major. This is mandatory.
For all prospective students taking OMPT tests, you will need to submit your final results showing that you passed with the required score before 1 July if you're planning to start at AUC in September of the same year. For example, if you are applying to start at AUC in September 2025, then you will have to submit your OMPT scores showing that you passed the appropriate exam before 1 July 2025.
Prospective students who complete the OMPT exams earlier and include the results in their application will be prioritised in the offer selection rounds. This means that students who have taken and submitted their OMPT exam results before 1 December (for the early-bird deadline) or before 1 February (for the regular deadline) will have priority in being made an offer of admission over those who plan to take the exam later (i.e. those who have only indicated that they intend to take the OMPT exam and submit their results before 1 July 2025, but do not have the results when submitting their application). Please note that all applications submitted before the respective deadlines (1 December 2024 and 1 February 2025) will still be reviewed without the results of an OMPT exam.
You can learn more about which OMPT maths tests are required per major via the link below.
Please note that applications are likely to be rejected if you are not following the required mathematics programme for your intended major or have a significant deficiency in meeting the mathematics requirements. In such cases, we strongly recommend completing the appropriate OMPT (Online Mathematics Proficiency Test) before applying to AUC.
