The Faculty is divided into five caucuses (i.e. areas of research and teaching); literature, ancient philosophy, ancient history, Classical art and archaeology, linguistics, and interdisciplinary studies.

The three-storey building was built in 1968 and includes lecture and seminar rooms, offices, and a library on the ground floor.

At undergraduate level, the faculty offers the Classical Tripos as its Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.

[6] The PhD is a three-year research course, and it is examined by a doctoral thesis of up to 80,000 words.

However, doctoral students may attend graduate seminars, undergraduate lectures, and can receive additional training in languages and/or specific disciplines (such as epigraphy or numismatics).
