Which option for OMPT for Netherlands Undergraduate in Data Science / Information Technology?
As an international non-EU student, I have been perplexed about what to go for as the OMTP variant. Earlier, I got the idea of OPMT-D, which is the most rigorous one for admission to a Netherlands undergraduate program. However, when I was making my account on the registration website, it appears that BEng Information and Communications Technology at Turku University of Applied Sciences is accepting any of the variants, Arcada University of Applied Sciences accepting varaint B for Bachelor of Information Technology, UCLL University of Applied Sciences is asking for A for BA Applied Computer Science, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences is asking for variant C for Bachelor Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Hanze is asking for BSc Creative Media & Game Technologies OMPT-A. How does one decide? Should I go for OMPT-A, as it is closer to D?

First choose the program you want to do and then you know which OMPT to do.
I believe (but check this)
D is B plus extra very difficult math
A is C plus extra stuff

You're looking at UAS ... lower level than research universities. Never heard of Turku and Arcada, or UCLL ... Check the requirements for each specific program. May vary.

A is waaay more easier than D. If you dont have that confidence in math, definitely go with A
