Success in the NSS 2026

  • Date10 July 2026

We are delighted with the excellent results of this year’s National Student Survey.

Students

Our students evaluated various aspects of our teaching and their experience in the Classics Department by responding to a number of questions.

Royal Holloway Classics has increased its positivity rate to 89.1% and we are delighted to be positioned 9th out of 23 institutions offering Classics in the UK* thus confirming our national reputation for teaching excellence and student satisfaction. 


We have achieved some excellent results in several areas of the Survey such as 94.9% in response to the question “How often do teaching staff make the subject engaging?”  and 98% in response to the question "How often is the course intellectually stimulating?”. 


These results are a reflection of the passion of our academics for teaching and their commitment to supporting our students in their learning journey at university as they, too, discover their passion for Classics!  
    
(* Calculated by measuring the percentage of questions positivity (questions 1 – 27) for all institutions listed in The Guardian University Guide League Table.)
