Abstract	International bachelor students´ dropout rates were recorded at over 40% and exceeded those of their German colleagues in Germany´s HEIs (Heublein et al, 2017). International students have a different symbiotic relationship to the HEI than domestic students and resident foreigners. International students embark on crossing at least one physical border to study in Germany, they increase one aspect of the internationalisation process of the HEI, they train to be potential labour for the local, regional, national, and international market, they act as diplomats for their country and when qualified, act as a diplomat for, in this case, Germany and the German educational system. Rather than analysing the dropout rates, this work addresses the success rates, and instead of just a snapshot of the international students´ success rates, this work will review the success rates covering twenty years of higher education in Germany´s HEIs. Specifically analysing mechanical and electrical engineering, and economics fields of study, this work includes both the diplom and bachelor students using the official statistics of all HEIs in Germany to create a cross-cohort analysis from 1995-2015. This empirical work analyses if the international students´ success rates are weaker than the German students´ success rates. The results showed that international students´ success rates in Germany in mechanical engineering were better than their German colleagues in most of those HEIs in the sample. The results also showed that the group of students with non-German citizenship and German secondary school qualification produced weaker success rates in most of the HEIs. (Orig.).
