We’re delighted to announce that Queen’s has surpassed the fundraising threshold to endow the John Prestwich Fellowship in History.
This month, the College’s Governing Body officially designated Dr Conor O’Brien’s Tutorial Fellowship under this name, securing the teaching and research of History at Queen’s for generations to come.
With over £3.3 million raised, thanks to the generosity of Old Members and Friends, Queen’s now has two endowed History Fellowships, ensuring the subject thrives at a time when the humanities face increasing challenges.
A huge thank you to all who made this possible.

The College warmly congratulates Kieran Agg, DPhil student in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry, who was selected as a finalist in the STEM for Britain competition. 🏆🔬
This month, Kieran had the incredible opportunity to present his research in Parliament. His findings could help to develop salt-tolerant crops and tackle global food security challenges.
