UCAS Campus Code: J
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.

Queen’s women lead the pack 🏃♀️
Congratulations to Juliette McGrath, Ellie Whelan, Sara Lee, and Georgia Campbell, who stormed to victory at this year’s Teddy Hall Relays, one of the highlights of Oxford’s running calendar.
Their win reflects not just individual performance, but the strength of the Queen’s College Run Club: a supportive, inclusive community where early mornings, shared miles, and the pastry stop build something more than results.

🥼How do you diagnose a disease that often shows no symptoms until it’s too late? 🔬
One of our graduate students, Erica, is researching Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), exploring how non-invasive tools like MRI could replace biopsy and help identify risk earlier.
🏥The aim is more personalised care, earlier intervention, and better outcomes for patients.
‘My interests lay in translational research as I think it is inherently interdisciplinary and rewarding to see the potential from bench to bedside.’

💬 What if the UK doesn’t have a language problem, just a missing pathway?
At a recent discussion dinner at Queen’s, one idea kept resurfacing: interest in languages is alive and well, particularly among young people, but it isn’t always finding its way into classrooms.
In this conversation with Duolingo's Michael Lynas, we explore the gaps between informal learning and formal study and the role of culture in sparking curiosity. Language is about connection - something we explore with the Queen's College Translation Exchange.

A Varsity win. Player of the Match. And leading with intention.
Huge congratulations to DPhil student Chloe-Marie Hawley, who captained the Oxford Women’s Blues to victory and was named Player of the Match 🏉
For Chloe-Marie, captaincy is about more than match day: setting standards, building a culture where others can thrive, and strengthening the legacy of women’s rugby at Oxford.
“Captaincy begins with holding yourself to the highest standard.”
