Queens' College accepts students from all academic disciplines. As in other Cambridge colleges, all candidates go through an interview process. Undergraduate applicants for some courses are required to take an admission test in advance. For example, from 2022, applicants in economics are expected to have taken the [[Test of Mathematics for University Admission]] before they can be admitted.

Like all other Cambridge colleges, undergraduate education is based on the [[tutorial system]]. Most undergraduate supervisions are carried out in the college, though for some specialist subjects undergraduates may be sent to supervisors in other colleges. The faculty and academic supervisors associated with the colleges play a very important part in the academic success of students. The college maintains strong ties with [[Cambridge Judge Business School]] and has a growing graduate community, including a lively mix of doctoral, medical and [[Postgraduate Certificate in Education|PGCE]] students. The college also maintains an extensive library, which supplements the university libraries.
