Shetland U3A is part of the University of the Third Age [U3A] which is a unique and exciting nationwide movement which provides its 380,000 members with life-enhancing and life changing opportunities.

Retired and semi-retired people come together and learn together, developing their interests in a friendly, enthusiastic and supportive environment.

U3As are not universities in the traditional sense. There is no curriculum, no entrance qualifications, no campus and no examinations or certificates. They are self-funded informal learning co-operatives drawing on the strengths and enthusiasms of their members who share their knowledge and skills, with each other.

We are a small friendly group of about 35 members. Annual subs are £8 a year.

Currently we have 7 active Groups, but are keen to add more if you have any suggestions, they are:

Book Group

Bridge Group

General Interest Group

Out and About Group

Lunch Group

Philosophy Group

Photography Group
