Study Preparation for Refugees in German 'Studienkollegs' - Interpretative Patterns of Access, Life-wide (Language) Learning and Performance.

Schröder, S., Grüttner, M. & Berg, J. (2019).
Study Preparation for Refugees in German 'Studienkollegs' - Interpretative Patterns of Access, Life-wide (Language) Learning and Performance. Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning, Volume 21(Number 2), 67-85.
Abstract

Recent research shows that a remarkable share of refugees who arrived in Germany over the past few years is highly qualified and has strong educational and academic aspirations. Preparatory colleges (‘Studienkollegs’) are important institutions for study preparation of non-EU international students in Germany. So far, research on ‘Studienkollegs’ is scarce. Our paper describes the institutional pathways of study preparation and access for prospective refugee students. Based on a qualitative case study, we analyse interpretative patterns of study preparation at German ‘Studienkollegs’. We reconstruct two different interpretative patterns across the groups of teachers and learners as meritocratic (re-)interpretations of difference. (...)

Zwischen Befähigung und Stigmatisierung? Die Situation von Geflüchteten beim Hochschulzugang und im Studium. Ein internationaler Forschungsüberblick.

Zwischen Befähigung und Stigmatisierung? Die Situation von Geflüchteten beim Hochschulzugang und im Studium. Ein internationaler Forschungsüberblick. Zeitschrift für Flüchtlingsforschung, Z’Flucht; Jahrgang 2 (Heft 1), 57-90.
Abstract

Der Beitrag gibt einen systematischen Überblick über den internationalen Forschungsstand zum Thema Hochschulzugang und Studiensituation von Geflüchteten. Es zeigt sich, dass die Literatur nahezu ausschließlich qualitative Studien bietet. Wir stellen die wichtigsten Faktoren zusammen, die in der Literatur als Einflüsse auf Hochschulzugang und Studiensituation diskutiert werden. Ein Vergleich des Forschungsstandes mit demjenigen zur Studiensituation von internationalen Studierenden zeigt, inwiefern Besonderheiten der Studiensituation von Geflüchteten angenommen werden können. Unser Beitrag schließt mit einer Diskussion der wissenschaftlichen und (hochschul-)politischen Implikationen mit Bezug auf die Situation in Deutschland.

The UK in Justice and Home Affairs: The Engaged Outsider. IES Policy Brief, Issue 2016/6, Brüssel, Belgien.
Abstract

By bundling the manifold policy expertise of the researchers of the Institute for European Studies (IES), this paper is part of a series of analyses investigating the potential implications of a 'Brexit' scenario for different EU policies. The series asks three questions: 1) What is the state of the EU policy in focus? 2) What is the UK’s role/interest in this policy field? 3) What are the potential implications of a 'Brexit' scenario at the policy-level?
