U3A UK
Learning – a life-long passion.
U3A (The University of the Third Age) is a uniquely British movement which brings together people in their “third age” to develop interests and continue learning in a friendly and informal environment. U3A members draw upon their knowledge and experience to teach and learn from each other; there are no qualifications to pass – it is just for pleasure. Learning is its own reward.
It's all voluntary – a typical U3A will be home to many activity groups covering hundreds of different subjects - from art to zoology and everything in between. There are now 1039 local U3As across the United Kingdom, with over 425,000 members, so if you’re fortunate enough to be British it shouldn’t be hard to find something that suits you!
