How successful are vocationally qualified students in studying? In her empirical dissertation, the author uses the example of engineering study courses to examine this research question. The analysis identifies success factors, correlations between relevant personality traits and study success in comparison to traditional students. The results provide indications about the reasons for academic success as well as information which can be used to design counselling and study services, the recruiting and admission of non-traditional students as well as information for the design of the study entry phases.weiterlesen
