2026 UQ Oxford Black-Tie Dinner

Join us for a black-tie evening that will bring the spirit of Queensland to the historic halls of the oldest university in the UK.

The annual UQ UK alumni black-tie dinner will take place in Oxford for the first time, in the iconic 16th-century dining hall of St John's College. It will feature special performances and fine dining in an intimate evening for our UK-based UQ community.

Together, we'll celebrate our UQ community while advancing The Queensland Commitment, with raffle proceeds supporting scholarships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
