About Queen’s College

Founded in 1887, Queen’s College is a vibrant residential community proudly affiliated with the University of Melbourne. More than accommodation, Queen’s is a place of shared life, where academic ambition, intellectual curiosity, creativity, leadership, and care for others are part of the same human story. Grounded in the ethos of community and service, Queen’s brings together students, staff, alumni (known as Wyverns), and supporters who believe education should shape not only capable graduates, but thoughtful, generous, and engaged citizens.
