Abstract	Around the year 2015, increased refugee migration established numerically large groups of new immigrants in the German society. This drew many researchers' attention as it promised applications of a wide range of research interests, including the desire to better understand the new migrants' educational backgrounds. Initially, it was frequently assumed that most of them possessed low educational levels [...]. Given the general lack of data on the new migrants' educational backgrounds, it was also unclear how their education compared to the education of those who did not migrate. Furthermore, the question of whether and to what extent educational selectivity might reflect on these migrants' societal integration in Germany was open to investigations. This thesis aims to contribute to research on these issues. The first research question that it addresses concentrates on describing the new migrants' selectivity profiles: To what extent are refugees who recently came to Germany selected on education? The thesis' first part also addresses assumptions about the selective migration of refugees by comparing the educational selection profiles of recent refugees in Germany to those of other groups: Do refugees systematically differ from other migrants in terms of educational selection? Are refugees sorted on education, that is, do the educational selection profiles of recent refugees in Germany differ from those of recent refugees who migrated to other, less distant destinations? The second part focuses on analyzing consequences of educational selectivity. More specifically, it addresses intergenerational consequences of recent refugee parents' educational selectivity for their children in Germany. The consequences which are analyzed refer to, first, these children's educational outcomes and, second, their destination-language competencies. These outcomes are analyzed considering the peculiarity that the children of recently immigrated migrants are themselves first-generation migrants. Accordingly, the overarching research question that this thesis' second part aims to answer is whether parental educational selectivity is associated with first-generation migrant children's and adolescents' educational decisions and destination-language acquisition.
