Welcome to Edinburgh U3A

The University of the Third Age

Edinburgh U3A is part of the International U3A movement founded in Europe in 1972. It currently has over 1200 members and it exists as a learning co-operative to enable members to share learning and leisure activities. Its aim is to enable members to work together in preserving and adding value to their quality of life. U3A membership is not related to a specific age but to a period in one's life (the third age) after the second age of full-time employment and parental responsibility. Anybody in their third age can join U3A and this includes people who are working part time. There is no lower age for membership.
