Queens' is a really open College, and it's completely unpretentious. No-one knows or cares what school you went to, or whether you have three or thirteen A levels. Jonathan

The sole condition for admission to Queens’ is academic potential. Queens’ seeks applicants from every sector of education. We encourage applicants from schools with no prior history of application to the College. It is the College’s overriding aim to ensure that no suitably qualified applicant should feel that they are prevented from making an application because of financial, social or other reasons.

Queens’ is one of the larger Colleges and is centrally situated in the city. It has a mix of old and new buildings, ranging from the fifteenth-century Old Court to the twentiethcentury Cripps Court. Undergraduates are guaranteed accommodation on the main College site for three years and all rooms are connected to the internet. The focus of social activity in the College is the JCR, which organises a lively entertainment programme and ensures that the student voice is heard in matters affecting the College. Queens’ provides state-of-the-art facilities for theatre, music and dance as well as on-site squash courts, a multi-gym, a cinema and sports hall. The sports ground and boathouse are nearby. The College is characterised by openness and informality.

Queens’ admits applicants in all subjects. All suitably qualified applicants are interviewed and conditional offers are pitched realistically, taking into account each applicant’s individual circumstances.

Potential applicants are welcome to contact the Admissions Office directly, to visit the College website and to attend one of the open days held each year. The College is also happy to arrange visits by Fellows and students to schools.
