People who go there- what is your opinion on Royal Holloway? And if you are doing a similar course, what is your opinion on the teaching/work load/etc?

Hi there,

We're delighted that you're considering studying Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Royal Holloway, University of London. By studying in our Department of Classics at Royal Holloway, you’ll gain a deep knowledge of the Greek and Roman world. You’ll expand your horizons by studying classics from new and challenging perspectives and will be encouraged to look beyond the ancient Mediterranean!

You will be taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars and tutorials, depending on the subjects studied. Much of your work will be outside class: reading in the library or via e-learning resources (we have a comprehensive e-learning facility, Moodle). You will also be preparing for seminars and lectures, working on essays and undertaking group projects and wide-ranging but guided independent study.
