U3A is the University of the Third Age. Our first age is childhood; our second our lifetime career. Our third age is what many call retirement. You only need to be over 55 years of age and no longer working full time to qualify. In Sydney U3A we have over 5,500 members who pursue their interest in lifelong learning. There are no exams and the pace is relaxed. For more information and answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) click here...
We all have a story that begins..'Those Were The Days...'
Now we want to read about it. Click on the menu item called Those Were The Days (it's just up there on the left). There you'll see our first couple of stories.
So delve into that old memory bank and share your reminiscences with the rest of us. You can email your contributions to webmaster(at)sydneyu3a.org
All members should now have the new Course List for Semester 2. But please be sure to check the section 'Our Courses' on this web site for late changes and/or errors and omissions.
Also, within the 'Our Courses' section we have added a new page. It's called 'Featured Courses' and gives you an insight into some of our courses from the inside perspective.
We have another new page. There are many U3As in Australia and around the World. In addition a great number of other groups provide services of some kind to U3A members. So, the intention of this new page is to provide information on events and activities of these various groups as well as links to them. To go there just click on Other Places/Links in the menu (above left).
Once you are there, have a look at an upcoming seminar being conducted by the Independent Scholars Association of Australia (ISAA).
If you know of something we should add please email webmaster(at)sydneyu3a.org. And, as always, your comments and feedback are always welcome.
