Educational choices reproduce social inequalities. The proportion of those in a birth cohort who obtain the „Abitur“(A-Level) is constantly rising. At the same time, a larger proportion of them opts for vocational training and some also subsequently for university studies (additive double qualification). Although there is already research investigating the reasons for completing a double qualification, there are limitations: To counter geographical constraints, the presented replication study uses data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) to investigate the transition into university education after completing VET with similar constructs (N = 310). Significant differences are found regarding age, gender, migration background, and cultural proximity. Supplementary analyses, using logistic regression models and FAMD, indicate the influence of cultural affection, even when controlling for socio-demographic factors.
