The residence permit for the purpose of fulfilling conditions before taking up studies in Germany is a temporary residence permit.

Specifically, the residence permit can be issued if

1. you have been admitted to full-time study by a state university, a state-recognized university or a comparable educational institution, but the admission is subject to a condition that is not aimed at attending a preparatory course of study (for example, admission to a Master's degree course is linked to the submission of proof of completion of a Bachelor's degree);

2. you have been admitted to full-time studies by a state university, a state-recognized university or a comparable educational institution, but the admission is subject to the condition that you must first attend a preparatory college or a comparable institution. Admission is also possible if you are not yet able to provide proof of admission to a preparatory college or comparable institution;

3. you have been admitted to part-time study by a state university, a state-recognized university or a comparable educational institution;

4. you have been accepted to take part in a preparatory language course without already having been admitted by a higher education institution; or

5. you have been accepted by a company to complete an internship in preparation for your studies.

When deciding whether to issue a residence permit for the above-mentioned purposes, the Foreigners' Registration Office may obtain and take into account opinions from the university or other institutions approved for training or further education on questions relating to study requirements, the course of study, the degree and other academic matters.

If you have not yet reached the age of 18, the persons entitled to take care of you must agree to your stay in Germany.
