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.

Growing conversations: Movember at Queen’s 🥸
We caught up with Jack (Materials Science), Joaquin (PPE), and Bastie (Materials Science), the trio leading this year’s JCR Movember campaign.
From hash browns in Hall to late afternoons in the New Library, they’re finding time between lectures to rally the College behind an important cause: men’s health.
Movember isn’t just about moustaches, it’s about removing stigma and starting conversations that save lives.
Last year, Queen’s raised nearly £5,000 and topped the leaderboards. This year, the team is aiming even higher, with pledges ranging from bleached moustaches to marathons up and down Queen’s Lane.

🕯️ This Halloween, we’re looking at the undead through the eyes of a scholar.
Vampire panics, grave mutilations, and ancient demons: what do they have in common?
According to Professor John Blair, Emeritus Fellow of Queen’s, quite a lot. In his new book, 'Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World', Professor Blair uncovers the dark, global history of how humans have “killed” the dead, and why these rituals often arise in times of trauma.
Far from the gothic clichés, his work reveals how belief in the “dangerous dead” reflects deep questions about grief, fear, and the boundary between life and death.
🩸 “Surely killing the dead,” he writes, “is better than killing the living.”

Infections around the lungs aren’t all the same. New research by Queen’s Stipendiary Lecturer in Medicine Dr Nikolaos Kanellakis identifies distinct biological types, helping doctors spot who needs which treatment sooner.
Why it matters: faster, better-targeted care could shorten hospital stays and reduce “just-in-case” antibiotics.
