Welcome to the University of the Third Age Frankfurt

U3L Jubiläum : cc Hermann Walter

The Univeristy of the Third Age (Universität des 3. Lebensalters - U3L) is an educational institution at the Goethe-University Frankfurt for post-professional students who would like to engage in further academic training through seminars, lectures and research groups. Furthermore we provide the opportunity to approach the issues of aging and the participation in gerontological science projects. In our course catalog you can find a variety of seminars, lectures and study groups which are taking place during the semester.

Everyone interested in academic education is welcome. Participation is possible without further formal educational requirements. Students of the J.W.Goethe-Universität Frankfurt may attend without additional application.
