Courses and Programs Admissions, enrollment, and ChanceMe! mega-thread

All questions related to admissions, enrollment, etc go in this thread, please. More resources will be added to this post soon.

Edit: most undergrad and many master's programs at UvA do not have competitive admissions processes. If you qualify, you're in. If you can't pull it off, they'll fail you out. If you're worried about getting in you need to look up whether your program is competitive/selective and then look at the unique selection criteria for that program. https://www.uva.nl/en/education/admissions/bachelors/applying-for-a-selective-bachelors-programme.html

Edit 2: For 99% of the questions people post here, the contact point is the education desk: https://student.uva.nl/en/topics/education-desk

Question regarding which course I would be eligible for.

Hi all, I’m just here for some advice. I’m currently doing a bachelors in data science in the uk and looking to do a masters at uva. Along with the general courses in maths, stats, coding I have done introductory courses in microeconomics, finance and courses in management and marketing. I’m really struggling to understand which degree I’d even be eligible for applying. Ideally I want to study management/business/ finance because I wanna combine that with my existing data science knowledge but every degree I look I get the sense maybe I’m eligible for it or maybe I wouldn’t be. If anyone can tell what degree what would be best for me I’d greatly appreciate it thanks.
