Queens' College

About the College

Queens’ is a large and exquisitely beautiful College, centrally located in the heart of the city. It has a mix of old and new buildings, ranging from the fifteenth-century Old Court to the twentieth-century Cripps Court.

Queens’ undergraduates are guaranteed accommodation on the main College site for three years, and all rooms enjoy high-speed internet access. The focus of social activity in the College is the JCR, which also ensures that the student voice is heard in matters affecting the College. Queens’ provides superb facilities for theatre, music and dance. In addition, there are squash courts, a gym, a cinema and sports hall all situated within the College and the sports ground and boathouse are nearby.

The sole condition for admission to Queens’ is academic potential. We especially welcome applicants from schools with no prior history of applications to the College and will use our best endeavours to ensure that no applicant is prevented from studying here because of a disability or any social or financial consideration.

The utmost care is taken when selecting students. Applicants are interviewed sympathetically by highly experienced Fellows who promote opportunities for you to present your strengths.

There’s a firm expectation at Queens’ that every student will work hard to fulfil his or her academic potential. Everyone understands that achieving a place here confers that responsibility. Queens’ offers a supportive, nurturing environment in which to flourish and be happy. Particular care is taken in helping students make the transition from school to university with a detailed programme of support for first-year students.

You’re welcome to contact the Admissions Office directly, to visit the College website and to attend an open day to find out more. The College is also happy to arrange visits by Fellows and students to schools.
