“Be the representation that so many students will appreciate.”
Back in summer, we were delighted to welcome students taking part in UNIQ, Oxford’s free access programme for UK state school students, giving them a taste of university life at Queen’s.
Our own students played an important role in making them feel at home, sharing their experiences and answering questions about life at Oxford.
We caught up with Queen’s student Mehreen to hear why getting involved in outreach means so much to her and why she encourages others to get involved.

🕰️ How many times have you walked past the clock at Queen’s without giving it a second thought?
But what's the story behind it?
Introducing ‘Hidden Spaces’, our new video series exploring some of the College’s lesser-known corners and the fascinating people connected to them.
In this first episode, we're heading up into the Bell Tower with former College Horologist John Richards, who takes us behind the scenes to reveal a world few get to see.
History, mystery, and a rather spectacular view of Queen’s.

🐭 ☠️ What do flying mice, gut microbes, and the evolution of death have in common?
For Browne Junior Research Fellow at Queen’s, Dr Aura Raulo, the answer lies in the hidden networks that connect all living things.
From studying wood mice in Wytham Woods, to exploring how our social connections shape our gut microbiomes, Aura’s research asks a fascinating question: does life thrive through isolation or connection?
We caught up with Aura to discover how their research is inspiring everything from animation to choral music, why they see death as a process that creates life, and what they love about being part of the academic community at Queen's.
