University of the Third Age (U3A)

University of the Third Age offers university courses (lectures, seminars, workshops) intended mostly for senior citizens.

This form of university education aims not only to improve specialist qualification of senior citizens (the knowledge acquired or degrees received are seldom needed for their jobs), but also to improve the quality of their lives, offering them intellectual activities and contact with younger generations.

The types and scope of courses offered by different universities are of a rather divers nature.  They range from single lectures to complete degree programmes studied along with full-time students. In the Czech Republic, universities of the 3rd age mostly offer thematic lecture series.
