Professor David Runia
The warmest of welcomes to everyone who visits our website. Even though you may live far away, it is now possible, through the magic of modern electronic communication, to pay us a visit and learn all about our community. This is the case both if you are intending to apply and become a resident, or if you have lived here in the past and wish to find out what is happening at your former College.
Queen’s College represents something rather rare and special, an academic residential community. About 250 of us live here in the beautiful buildings and grounds of the College. We live together because we are studying at university or providing support for those who are studying.
We form a community by sharing common aims and common values, by doing many different activities together, by giving each other support and encouragement, by making friendships that will last a life-time. Within our community individuals are given the freedom to pursue those activities which are important for them.
I invite you to browse and explore our website. There are many things for you to learn about, including
a beautiful and centrally located environment in which to live
excellent facilities for residents and visitors
an extensive programme of academic support
a wide range of academic, spiritual, cultural, sporting and social activities
how you can apply to become a resident
how you as a former resident can still stay in touch with us
As the seventh master of Queen’s in its 120 year history and a former resident myself, I am very proud of what my College has to offer. I am sure that you will be impressed by what you see. And if you would like to visit the College itself, please let us know and we will be most pleased to show you around.
