Every year, Queen’s takes part in the annual University-wide Open Days for prospective undergraduates.
What happens on an Open Day?
Open Days are an opportunity for prospective students to get a feel for the College, explore the facilities and help you decide whether Oxford and Queen’s might be the place for you.
Our admissions and access team, as well as our wonderful current students, will be on hand to answer your queries about the application process and college life. Our Meet the Tutors panels will also give you chance to ask subject-specific questions and gain further insight into what teaching and learning is like at Queen’s.
After you have visited us at Queen’s, you can explore the range of events and talks taking place across the whole University. You can consult the full timetable of events on the University webpage to help you plan your visit.
Overnight Accommodation for North West school groups
We are usually able to offer a limited amount of overnight accommodation for state school groups in our North West link regions of Blackburn with Darwen, Blackpool, Lancashire, and Cumbria for one night preceding each summer open days. Unfortunately, we do not have overnight accommodation available for the September open day.
If you are a teacher at a state school in one of our North West link regions and would like to register your interest in staying at Queen’s for the open day, please complete this form by 12pm on Tuesday 28 April.
Visiting your college was the highlight of our trip.
