Congratulations to all the Balliol finalists who earned their undergraduate degrees this summer. We are very proud of each of them for their achievement – and all the more so because they did it despite the continuing difficulties created by the pandemic. We are especially proud of the 41 students out of a total of 92 (44.5 per cent) who achieved Firsts.
We are so sorry that it has not yet been possible to celebrate our finalists’ success with them, but we look forward to doing so with as many of them as possible when in-person graduation ceremonies resume in September. In the meantime, we wish our graduands the best of luck in their future plans; we hope they will keep in touch with Balliol and send us their news, and we hope to see them at alumni events in the future.
(The college undergraduate degree classifications for the year, known as the Norrington Table, are not yet available.)
