| Abstract: | In this paper, the influence of personal networks and social support on study attainment of students in university education
is examined. Furthermore, the paper aimed at clarifying the possible mediating role of achievement motivation, time spent
on studying and working, procrastination and self-esteem. The study is a follow-up of the ’89 cohort study, but is restricted
to those students who have transferred to university education after finishing secondary education. The students have been
approached with a questionnaire in 2004. Multinomial logistic regression shows that social support has no effect on study
attainment, but that personal networks do have an effect on attainment. The relationship between social support and personal
networks on the one hand and study progress on the other hand is not mediated by the before mentioned variables.
