Methods of the Research

Abstract

I have previously spent time abroad as an international student. From that experience, I know how hard it is to adjust to new cultures, climates, and traditions despite it being a very interesting personal experience. After arriving in Germany as an international doctoral student, I started to hear negative comments about people of migrant origin in the media, and learned about the educational inequality in Germany. For these reasons I became very interested in studying this field of research. I was wondering how and why migrant origin, ethnicity or religious beliefs influence people’s opportunity to live a good life and receive a good school education.
