Welcome to the home page of BOOST2018, the ground-breaking study of student life.
BOOST2018 is a study undertaken by researchers at the University of Essex to better understand students’ life at university students, the issues they may face in their daily life, their aspirations, expectations, attitudes, and their outcomes.
The data collection part of the project was completed over three years from October 2015 to June 2018, with 12 waves of data collection, both online and in the ESSEXLab social science laboratory. The research team is now hard at work analysing the data, and will post details of the project’s findings here as further work is completed.
