This programme invites older adults, particularly those retired or in the ‘third age,’ to engage in university-level study for personal enrichment and lifelong learning.
Open to all without formal qualifications, it offers the chance to join undergraduate modules in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Participants can take one in-person module per semester, with optional assessments and full access to campus facilities.
