University of the Third Age (U3A) Cygnet

The University of the Third Age (U3A) Cygnet is a co-operative learning community (that’s the ‘university’) for retired and semi-retired people (that’s the ‘third age’), run by volunteers on a non-profit basis. We are one of many similar U3A groups in Tasmania, across Australia and New Zealand, and throughout the World.

The University of the Third Age Cygnet is a wholly self-funded, voluntary organisation formed in 1991 to provide interesting courses (the university) to our retired and semi-retired members (we are all in our third age). We are a small and very friendly club. There are no exams, no entry requirements and no limit to the number of courses members may enrol to attend.

We aim to encourage the pursuit of learning and the opportunity to acquire new skills and experiences in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

There are no entry qualifications, assessments or awards.
