The application process
The initial stages of the application process are the same at Queen’s as they are at any other college in the University. UCAS applications are due by 6pm (UK time) on 15 October 2024 for 2025 entry. Applicants need to ensure that they have registered for any necessary admissions tests. The deadline to register for Oxford’s own admissions tests is 4 October (except for the LNAT and the UCAT). The most comprehensive information about applying to the University is available on the central University admissions webpages.
Interviews will take place online in December 2024.
If you are a current applicant and would like step-by-step support with each stage of our admissions process, we recommend that you sign-up for the University’s Choosing Oxford newsletter.
The College supports the University’s policy about the age of candidates for undergraduate admissions, which states:
‘Oxford University welcomes applications from students regardless of their age. However, potential candidates for all courses will be expected to demonstrate a mature approach to the study of their subject, including skills of critical analysis, wide contextual knowledge and the ability to manage their own time effectively. If, for welfare reasons, relating to age or other grounds, a College considers that it is not in the best interests of an individual student to live in College, they will discuss alternative options, if an offer of a place is made.’
The College is happy to consider applications from students regardless of their age. Recognizing that thriving on an undergraduate course requires both intellectual and personal maturity, the College may decide to offer a place for academic reasons, while deferring the entry year until a later date when the College is fully confident in the candidate’s ability to meet the challenges of university study.
For Medicine, the College follows the University policy, i.e. ‘Students must be 18 years of age at the time they start the Medicine course. The clinical contact in our programme starts in the first term and means that younger students would not be able to take part in required elements of the course. For Medicine, your application will not be shortlisted unless you will be at least 18 years old on the 1 November of your first term.’ This requirement brings the Medical School into line with many other top-ranking Medical Schools in the UK and is further explained in the FAQs on the Medical Sciences website.
Finding out your result
We will send out admissions decisions for 2025 entry on 14 January 2025, at the same time as the other colleges. Unfortunately, we are not able to give out application results before this date.
Remember…
Our tutors are looking for academic enthusiasm, capability, and potential. You will be expected to think on your feet; take the interview questions at face-value, ask for help if you need it, speak through your thought process out loud, be honest, and make the most of being given the chance to speak to experts in your subject!
Tutors are not trying to trick you or make you feel uncomfortable; they actually want to help you do your best.

Members of the Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford were delighted to sing at Marlborough House on 10 March to help celebrate Commonwealth Day and the inaugural Commonwealth Peace Prize.
The audience included Their Majesties the King and Queen The Royal Family and distinguished guests and high commissioners from the 56 nations of The Commonwealth.
Along with singers from The BRIT School, they sang the debut of Love in Peace, a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Ben Elton and Bruno Major. The singers were thrilled to have a masterclass with Lloyd Webber as part of the rehearsals for the evening.

✨ Get Weird, Get Creative, Make a Zine! ✨
This term, we ditched the screens and got stuck into some real cut-and-paste creativity with Imperfect Bound Collective! From collaging to photocopier experiments, the Library’s zine-making workshop was all about self-expression, spontaneity, and a little bit of fun.
Zines are low on perfectionism—whether you’re crafting a mini-manifesto, a chaotic collage, or just spreading the word: please don’t eat in the library, it attracts pests! 🐜📚
Missed the workshop? Fancy getting involved next time? Let us know! And check out @imperfectboundcollective for more zine inspiration.

Dr Christopher Metcalf, Lobel Fellow in Classics, has just published Three Myths of Kingship in Early Greece and the Ancient Near East: The Servant, the Lover, and the Fool (Cambridge University Press, 2025). 📖✨
Drawing on newly discovered Sumerian texts and Greek myths, the book uncovers powerful story-patterns shaping ancient kingship—from the rise of outsiders to power to the divine forces behind rulers' legitimacy.
