- Abstract
Studying at German universities with migration background is a currently debated topic for higher education politics -- merely considering the demographically growing group of minority students. Until now there is little systematic research on the studying conditions of minority students, their success chances at German universities, and on explaining factors for successfully managing the study programs. Based on a Student survey at the University of Konstanz (N = 399), the article describes whether two success indicators (self-reported achievements and a problem index of using scientific methods) differ between the groups of students with and without migration background. Furthermore, it analyzes how possible differences are related to differences in study preconditions and requirements (grades of high school diploma (Abitur) and educational family background). The group differences for both indicators are small and almost fully explained by differences in grades of high school diploma.
