The application process
The initial stages of the application process are the same at Queen’s as they are at any other college in the University. UCAS applications are due by 6pm (UK time) on 15 October 2025 for 2026 entry. Applicants need to ensure that they have registered for and booked any necessary admissions tests. The deadline to register for Oxford’s own admissions tests is 19 September 2025 (except for the LNAT and the UCAT); the deadline to book Oxford’s own admissions tests is 26 September 2025. The most comprehensive information about applying to the University is available on the central University admissions webpages.
Interviews will take place online in December 2025.
If you are a current applicant and would like step-by-step support with each stage of our admissions process, we recommend that you sign-up for the University’s Choosing Oxford newsletter.
The College supports the University’s policy about the age of candidates for undergraduate admissions, which states:
‘Oxford University welcomes applications from students regardless of their age. However, potential candidates for all courses will be expected to demonstrate a mature approach to the study of their subject, including skills of critical analysis, wide contextual knowledge and the ability to manage their own time effectively. If, for welfare reasons, relating to age or other grounds, a College considers that it is not in the best interests of an individual student to live in College, they will discuss alternative options, if an offer of a place is made.’
The College is happy to consider applications from students regardless of their age. Recognizing that thriving on an undergraduate course requires both intellectual and personal maturity, the College may decide to offer a place for academic reasons, while deferring the entry year until a later date when the College is fully confident in the candidate’s ability to meet the challenges of university study.
For Medicine, the College follows the University policy, i.e. ‘Students must be 18 years of age at the time they start the Medicine course. The clinical contact in our programme starts in the first term and means that younger students would not be able to take part in required elements of the course. For Medicine, your application will not be shortlisted unless you will be at least 18 years old on the 1 November of your first term.’ This requirement brings the Medical School into line with many other top-ranking Medical Schools in the UK and is further explained in the FAQs on the Medical Sciences website.
Finding out your result
We will send out admissions decisions for 2026 entry in January 2026, at the same time as the other colleges. Unfortunately, we are not able to give out application results before this date.
Remember…
Our tutors are looking for academic enthusiasm, capability, and potential. You will be expected to think on your feet; take the interview questions at face-value, ask for help if you need it, speak through your thought process out loud, be honest, and make the most of being given the chance to speak to experts in your subject!
Tutors are not trying to trick you or make you feel uncomfortable; they actually want to help you do your best.

Could neutrinos change the future of dark matter research? ⚛️
In the latest episode of 'Even Bananas', Fellow in Physics Dr Kirsty Duffy is joined by dark matter hunter Dr Kimberly Palladino to tackle one of the biggest mysteries in modern physics.
Dark matter remains elusive but as experiments become more sensitive, neutrinos may start to interfere, creating a “neutrino fog” that could reshape how scientists search for answers.
'Even Bananas' breaks down cutting-edge physics with clarity and a sense of fun.

We are excited to say that the Choir will be singing evensong at Salisbury Cathedral this evening! You can watch the service using the attached link. Please be aware that this stream is live only, and will not be available once the service ends.
If you are Oxford-based and still wish to attend a service at Queen's, a said Evening Prayer will be taking place in the Chapel at 6.30pm.

Neutrinos, the Universe, and Everything 🌌⚛️
Why does the Universe exist and why didn’t matter and antimatter annihilate each other at the Big Bang?
In this talk at the Royal Institution, Fellow in Physics Dr Kirsty Duffy explores one of the biggest unanswered questions in science and the surprising role of neutrinos in the search for answers.
Neutrinos are everywhere (around 100 billion pass through your thumbnail every second), yet they’re among the most mysterious particles we know. Drawing on her work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), she will explain what neutrinos are, why they matter, and how next-generation experiments may help explain why the Universe exists at all.
📍 Royal Institution (theatre + livestream)
🕖 Talk begins at 7.00pm on Monday 18 May

Research on tap: what’s brewing at Queen’s? 🍻📚
From liver disease to the archaeology of trees, 'What’s Brewing at Queen’s?' brings graduate research out of the seminar room and into a relaxed, sociable setting.
The series gives the College’s graduate students space to share their research in short, informal talks designed for a non-specialist audience.
Organiser Sanjna explains: it’s about curiosity, cross-disciplinary exchange, and making research feel accessible, low-pressure, and fun. Because some of the most interesting ideas happen when you put brilliant people from different disciplines in the same room and just let them talk.
