You are welcome to visit Queen’s
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. The Chapel holds a number of public services, and during term there are frequent public concerts and recitals. Additionally, the College has a digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and culture app.

🥬🍽️ How do we grow enough food for the future in a changing climate?
Researchers at Queen’s are part of a £6.7 million ARIA-funded project exploring how synthetic biology could improve the yield and resilience of staple crops.
The collaboration began over lunch at Queen’s, when a conversation across disciplines opened up an unexpected connection between medicine, biology, and industry. In our latest feature, Professor Chris O’Callaghan reflects on the interdisciplinary collaboration behind the project which brings together expertise to tackle one of the biggest global challenges of our time.

🥳 🏆We are delighted that the Queen's College Translation Exchange (QTE) has been recognised at this year’s Vice-Chancellor’s Awards, winning in the Local Community Engagement category.
The award celebrates QTE’s outstanding work with schools across Oxfordshire, helping raise the profile of language learning and building inclusive, creative, and cultural connections to the University. Last year alone, student ambassadors, many of them from Queen’s, delivered Creative Translation workshops to more than 700 pupils in 16 local state schools.
Huge congratulations to the QTE team and to all of the student ambassadors whose energy and commitment made this possible.

After 25 years teaching preclinical medicine at Queen’s, Dr Laurence Leaver is retiring from teaching.
A GP as well as a tutor, Laurence has helped generations of students learn not just about medicine, but about people by listening carefully, asking good questions, and seeing the person behind the condition. We reflect on a career marked by insight, warmth, and a deep commitment to students.

Dr Leaver would be happy to hear from any former students and can be contacted via the College.

🎓 What is a university for?
For first-year Fine Art students Rosa and Maia, Queen’s has been more than a place to study. It has been a space to explore art’s psychological and political power and to ask how memory and identity might help us think differently about the future.
🖌️ 👩🎨Their exhibition, 'Emerging Unrealities', explores the shifting boundaries between the real and the imagined.
In this feature, Rosa and Maia reflect on art, friendship, and the role of universities as places where emotional and intellectual frameworks for understanding the world begin to take shape.
