This is not your local U3A website.
Welcome to U3A Online. All U3A Groups are separate, membership of one does not give membership of another.
There are over 240 U3A Groups in Australia and many more around the world. All U3A Online courses are online and there are no venues where you go to be with other people.
This is the website of U3A Online which is a virtual U3A Group where everything is done online

Courses
Our courses are open to all older people and disabled younger people anywhere in the world. They are especially suited to older members of the community who are isolated either geographically, or through physical or social circumstances (including carers).
We offer a wide variety of course subjects which can be studied at any level of interest. We aim to provide something for everyone, so our courses may vary in length and depth.
The courses are informal, there are no exams or assignments and no certificates issued. Each course is offered as Independent Study. A number of courses also have a Course Leader, at dates listed on the ‘with leader’ Courses list.

The chronological list of all up and coming Courses with a Leader is added to as each course becomes available. A course does not appear on the list when it is currently running. Click the course name for a summary of the course.

The wide range of helpful information, including news items, research reports and links to many interesting websites, will also prove useful to other groups of older people.
