The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a self-help international organisation, where retired and semi-retired people over the age of 50 provide courses for each other.  At Newcastle U3A (NU3A) our courses range from academic, skill and special interest classes, to relaxed social get-togethers. Browse our Frequently Asked Questions for more about how we operate.

From 16 March 2020, NU3A responded to the COVID-19 crisis by closing all face-to face classes. Some classes continued on Zoom or other online formats for the remainder of Term 2 and Term 3.  In Term 4, some face to face courses and excursions recommenced, together with Zoom and online.

Face to face classes will be subject to:

• compliance with government restrictions, including class size limits (and some associated venue changes)
• members complying with our  COVID Safety Plan  and
• members assessing their own circumstances to determine if face to face attendance is appropriate.
