What level of mathematics can I expect in econometrics bachelor?

Hi, I got an offer from UvA to study econometrics and data science. I’m wondering what kind of math will I see if I decide to pursue this degree.

I have no problem with doing mathematics to achieve a certain result, but when it comes to proofs I tend to struggle.

I’m ready to do multiple integrals, lineal algebra, proofs by induction, statistics which I really like, proofs by contradiction, stochastic proceses which I really like.

I saw how to prove that an ols estimator is unbiased and some parts seemed doable and some hard. Maybe I could do it on my own if I was studying full time this degree.

But I would struggle if the level of mathematics is too abstract and too proof based, for example proving Bolzano-Weiestrass theorem or Cauchy integral formula.

Thanks
