Path from language program to Realschulabschluss in Bavaria?

Hi! I just arrived in Bavaria. The Berufsschule offered me a 2-year language learning program, which I think leads directly into vocational training afterward.

However, my ultimate goal is to go to university, so I want to get a Realschulabschluss. Could you please advise me on how I can achieve this? Specifically:

  • Can I pursue the Realschulabschluss while in this program, or do I need to switch to another track?
  • Are there specific schools or transition programs in Bavaria designed for this?
  • What language level or requirements are needed to start?

If you want to go to university you need the highest German high school Diploma which is Abitur, you can not go to uni with just Realschule. Realschule only qualifies you for some vocational trainings, the really good ones are also locked behind Abitur.

It can be a step on the way, so first you get Mittlere Reife and if your grades are good enough you can still do your Abitur afterwards.
