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 2024 for 2025 entry. Applicants need to ensure that they have registered for any necessary admissions tests. The deadline to register for Oxford’s own admissions tests is 4 October (except for the LNAT and the UCAT). The most comprehensive information about applying to the University is available on the central University admissions webpages.
Interviews will take place online in December 2024.
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 2025 entry on 14 January 2025, 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.

🧭 What makes a great leader — and how can you spot a bad one?
Old Member and former Rhodes Scholar The Hon. John Tien Jr (PPE, 1987) has served in the military, the White House, and beyond — and he’s seen the best and worst of leadership up close.
💬 “Good leaders help others to develop and be the best version of themselves in order to support the broader mission. Bad leaders? They’re usually pretty easy to pick out — narcissistic, self-serving, and double-dealing…their motivation is very clearly not for the good of others.”
From being a trailblazer as the first Asian American Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security to leading soldiers in Iraq, John shares his candid insights on good leadership, how service shaped his career and the enduring impact of Queen’s.

📚 Congratulations to Mukahang Limbu (English & Modern Languages, 2019), winner of The Borough Press’ non-fiction open submission competition with his forthcoming memoir Egg-Fried Rice, to be published in 2027.
Selected from over 250 entries, The Borough Press said: "We are so excited to have found Mukahang Limbu’s writing. Egg-Fried Rice is a gorgeous coming-of-age memoir with such lyrical and evocative prose."
In a recent interview with us, Mukahang shared his insights into:
🖋️ Shifting from poetry to prose — “If poetry is a room, writing prose is like building a house.”
📖 Writing as catharsis — “A memoir forces you to take out the dirty plates you’ve shoved under the bed and give them a good wash.”
🌍 Representing the Nepali diaspora in Oxford — "In the underbelly of Oxford, there is an entire Nepali community that makes the ancient and limestoned world go around.”
✍️ Advice to writers — “Don’t think, just do. Time spent thinking is time not writing.”
Mukahang’s voice is bold, thoughtful, and refreshingly honest — we can’t wait to see what he writes next.

Former bell-ringer’s inscription in the College's Bell Tower marking VE Day, 1945.
In the 1945 College Record, Provost Hodgkin wrote:
"My letter this year must begin by telling you how we in Oxford have given thanks and rejoiced for the great deliverance. On VE Day we joined with the others employed here, both by the College and by the Ministry of Home Security, in a short service in Chapel. In the evening the last barrel of ‘Chancellor,’ kept since 1939 for the occasion, was broached; wine was also served, and we drank the ancient College toasts.
We connected the words ‘In memoriam absentium’ with those of you who are still overseas, especially those who have formidable campaigning ahead of you before the Japanese war is won. I need scarcely add that we also had specially in mind the 60 Queensmen who have given their lives for our deliverance. "
