About us

The University of the Third Age at the University of Economics in Wrocław (UTW UEW) has been operating within the structures of this university since 2008 and currently has 250 students.

The activities of the University of the Third Age focus on the education and activation of older people, offering them the opportunity to continue their education, develop their interests, and maintain social and intellectual activity, which is in line with the “Third Mission of the University,” i.e., creating relationships between the university and its environment, popularizing science, and supporting social development.

The UTW offers its students a wide range of programs, where everyone can find something interesting. These include weekly lecture series, English, German, and Spanish language courses, memory training, and workshops teaching new technologies and digital skills.

The activities of the UTW serve to integrate and improve the well-being of its students, confirming that activity is a psychological and social need at any age, and that lifelong learning, which is the idea behind the UTW, has many different forms and colors, even in mature age
