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.
For information about accessibility, please visit our Accessibility, health, and welfare page.

🎉 Congratulations to Jem Perry (PPE, 2023), who has been awarded a Kennedy Scholarship to Harvard University.
As Jem leaves Oxford, we asked what things he’ll miss most about Queen’s. His answer: the close-knit community and eating together in Hall.
🍽️ At Queen’s, eating together is about more than sharing a meal– it’s a chance to bring together students from different subjects and year groups and creates space for conversations and friendships you might not otherwise have found.

🌒 As people look skywards for today’s solar eclipse, we’re looking back to another eclipse and to a former Queen’s student who wanted to make sure no one panicked when the sky went dark.
Astronomer Edmond Halley predicted with extraordinary accuracy the path of a total solar eclipse across southern England in 1715. At a time when eclipses could still be regarded as ominous portents, Halley published a chart explaining exactly what would happen, hoping that science would prevent “surprise to the People”.
Halley studied at Queen’s for two years from 1673, and his rare 'A Description of the Passage of the Shadow of the Moon' (1715) has recently joined the College Library’s collections thanks to the generosity of an Old Member.

Can politics take the long view?
📺 In an age of 24-hour news cycles and constant political pressure, is there still room for long-term thinking?
In the latest episode of ‘Provox’, Paul is joined by former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt for a wide-ranging conversation on economics, healthcare, leadership, and the changing nature of public debate.
Sir Jeremy draws on his experience at the highest levels of government, reflecting on balancing principle with pragmatism and making decisions that can affect millions of lives.
