The newspaper then gives each university department an overall percentage. The full lists can be found by entering 'Classics' and a tariff band number here. I have had to extract the Classics assessments from the various tariff bands into which each university as a whole is placed. Classics departments do not necessarily come in the same order of achievement as their university tariffs as a whole. For instance, Cambridge and Oxford are in the top band both for overall tariffs and for Classics excellence in particular, but Roehampton University is listed by itself in the lowest tariff band (of those universities that offer Classics) and yet its Classics department outperforms several of the universities with higher A level result tariffs.
Sorry, I'm making it all seem very complicated. I hope the following list from the Guardian's league tables will be helpful. The usual caveats about statistics in general and league tables in particular apply.

- Leeds 78.63
- Exeter 78.57
- Royal Holloway and Bedford New College 78.23
- Manchester 76.70
- Edinburgh 76.40
- Bristol 75.97
- Nottingham 71.90
- Reading 71.53
- Birmingham 69.83
- Kent 69.07
- Glasgow 68.73
- Roehampton 67.33
