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.

𓁈 How did people in Ancient Egypt choose to present themselves and how did they hope to be remembered?
In our latest research blog, Honorary Fellow Prof Elizabeth Frood explores identity and legacy through the extraordinary statue of Wenennefer, a high dignitary under Ramesses II. She also reflects on her recent Visiting Fellowship in Paris, a significant milestone both professionally and personally, and on the power of objects to bring ancient stories to life.

🌍 What is lost when we translate words, but not humour, rhythm, culture or context? This #EuropeanDayOfLanguages, we’re celebrating the distinctly human creativity involved in moving between languages and cultures.
That idea is at the heart of Oxford’s new Master’s in Creative Translation, led by Queen’s Professor Karen Leeder. Combining academic study with hands-on creative practice, the course will explore translation across literature, theatre, film and experimental media, while asking an increasingly important question in the age of AI: what can human translators do that machines cannot?
As Professor Leeder puts it: “The ability to imagine, interpret, and connect across languages and cultures remains a distinctly human endeavour.”
Students will also benefit from the course’s close connection with the Queen's Translation Exchange (QTE), joining a community of translators through events, reading groups, seminars, and opportunities to get involved as QTE Ambassadors.
