Conditional Bachelor admission + 1 semester university language course (DSH-2)
​
Hi everyone,
I recently received a conditional admission letter for a Bachelor's program at a public university in Germany. The condition is that I need to come to the university, complete 1 semester of their in-house German language course, and pass the DSH-2 exam. Once I clear it, I can officially enroll in my degree program.
For context, I already hold a solid B2 certificate and plan to reach C1 and pass the DSH-2 within this single semester.
I am preparing my visa application now and wanted to ask a few things.
Which visa will I actually receive? Will the embassy issue a student/study preparation visa (Section 16b) because I have a conditional admission letter, or will they give me a standard language course visa (Section 16f)?
What visa risks should I factor in? Are there any specific red flags the embassy looks out for in this scenario, like motivation letter or blocked account requirements? What happens if there is a delay and I need slightly longer to pass the exam?
Also how should I apply for visa from CSP portal should I choose preperatory course or language visa?
Any advice from people who have gone through this route would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
