Queen's College, founded in 1848 by Professor F D Maurice, was the first-ever academic institution to receive a charter for the education of women. Former students include Dorothea Beale, Sophia Jex-Blake, Gertrude Bell and Katherine Mansfield. Housed in beautiful 18th century buildings in the very heart of London, the College has recently undergone extensive refurbishment and is equipped with bright new laboratories and and facilities for the teaching of Science, Information Technology and Modern Languages.
We pay close attention to academic standards, with almost all girls going on to University, but also encourage individuality, self-motivation and independence of of mind, welcoming different talents, abilities and interests. We offer a very wide range and combination of subjects and opportunities to enjoy almost everything from Art and Music to Information Technology and visits abroad. Our location is one of our greatest assets, and all students benefit from London's galleries, museums, theatres, exhibitions and concerts.
Admission is by examination and interview.
If you would like to visit the College please telephone the Registrar, Mrs J L M Pearce, 0171 636 2446.
