近年来，德国新的庇护申请数量有所上升，并在2015年达到顶峰。许多难民带着高水平的先前教育和相应的教育愿望来到这里。因此，德国的大学和预科学院(所谓的“Studienkolleg”)为难民开设了额外的预科课程和辅助服务。到目前为止，对于在德国寻求接受高等教育的潜在难民学生所面临的具体挑战，人们知之甚少。我们关注难民融入德国高等教育系统的关键个人、社会和制度条件。未来的难民学生如何重视高等教育？在德国接受高等教育的关键挑战和支持因素是什么？我们的分析基于对未来难民学生、高等教育机构工作人员和咨询服务机构的17次探索性访谈。我们结合了教育社会学和难民研究，并依靠能力方法及其与中介概念的密切联系来对我们的实证结果进行理论分析。重建挑战和应对战略以及能力办法的关键概念，揭示了未来难民学生实现其愿望的不同战略，以及机构令人沮丧的体制限制。最后，我们将讨论对德国高等教育政策的影响。
In recent years, the number of new asylum applications in Germany has risen with a peak in 2015. Many refugees arrive with high levels of prior education and corresponding educational aspirations. Hence, German universities and preparatory colleges (so-called ‘Studienkollegs’) have created additional preparatory courses and supporting services for refugees. Heretofore, little is known about the specific challenges for prospective refugee students seeking access to higher education in the German context. We focus on key individual, social, and institutional conditions for integrating refugees into the German higher education system. How do prospective refugee students value higher education? What are the key challenges and supporting factors on their way to higher education in Germany? Our analysis is based on 17 exploratory interviews with prospective refugee students, staff of higher education institutions and counselling services. We combine educational sociology and refugee studies and rely on the capability approach and its close relation to the conception of agency to theorize our empirical findings. Reconstructing the challenges and coping strategies along with the key concepts of the capability approach reveals the different strategies of prospective refugee students to achieve their aspirations as well as the frustrating institutional limits of agency. Finally, we will discuss implications for higher education policy in Germany.
