Abstract
This project studies social inequalities in access to prestigious fields of studies. These fields are of interest as not only a tertiary educational degree but also the fields of study completed influence future labor market attainment. For the centrally restricted and highly selective programs in medicine and pharmacy, we investigate whether and how universities’ recruitment procedures and criteria and their interplay with applicants’ individual characteristics and application behavior contribute to social inequality in access to these prestigious fields. We use register data provided by the Stiftung fuer Hochschulzulassung and a linked online survey, conducted by the WZB.
