Prospective students and Old Members are always welcome to visit at any time when the College is open, between 9am and 7pm.
We ask Old Members to bring their alumni card if they have one; if not, then you may be asked for proof of identity. The best way for Old Members to arrange a visit is to email the Old Members’ Office.
Members of the public can arrange access by contacting the local Blue Badge Guides. Additionally, the Chapel holds a number of public services, and during term there are frequent public concerts and recitals.

🧬From Queen’s to the front line of cancer research
The College warmly congratulates recent graduate student Dr Peter Wan (DPhil in Oncology, 2019) who has been awarded the highly competitive Pancreatic Cancer UK Career Foundation Fellowship.
Over three years, Peter will lead a multidisciplinary team in the University of Oxford’s Department of Oncology to develop a new form of immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer - the deadliest common cancer. Through this Fellowship, Peter aims to translate discoveries from the laboratory into potential new treatments.

“Languages aren’t just a skillset, they’re a mindset.”
Learning languages isn’t only speaking and listening, it’s how you analyse, read between the lines, and build relationships. Dr Charlotte Ryland (Director, The Translation Exchange at The Queen’s College) makes the case for a national conversation on languages.
Join the discussion and share your story of the linguistic mindset.

📢 Languages advocacy & outreach needs to start *early* for languages – Year 7 at the latest.
👏 The proof is in the pudding: last year 22,000 learners from 412 schools took part in the Anthea Bell Prize. Busy teachers opt into this project because it raises the profile of languages in their schools and helps them to increase uptake.
💡 The Prize provides cultural, creative activities that link to the curriculum – this is what teachers tell us they need. It motivates *both teachers & pupils*.
🗣️ Teachers also tell us that creative translation develops their students’ problem solving and critical thinking skills; offering ‘many of them a huge uplift in self-confidence and self-belief and a sense of opportunities they had never considered within their reach’.
🌍 Last but… increasingly not least: this approach to language learning fosters cultural inclusion. ‘Young people who immerse themselves in languages are better placed to appreciate the cultural diversity around them and its value to wider society.’
