Welcome to Newcastle U3A
Learning opportunities for retirees
Are you retired or semi-retired? Let yourself grow through U3A
U3A is a self-help international organisation, where retired and semi-retired people provide courses for each other. At Newcastle U3A (NU3A) our courses range from academic, skill, physically active and special interest classes, to relaxed social get-togethers. Browse our Frequently Asked Questions or Newsletters , or view our 30th anniversary video ‘Older but Bolder’, for a sneak peak.

Please DO NOT attend if unwell, especially if infectious or presenting covid-like symptoms. Members must assess their own circumstances to determine if face-to-face attendance is appropriate.
The Membership fee for 2023 will remain at just $60 for the calendar year. Financial members can attend as many classes as you choose throughout the year (subject to class limits).
