Welcome to our new website. We offer people no longer in full-time employment opportunities for informal learning, friendship and fun. The Milton Keynes University of the Third Age (MKU3A) is part of the national network (The Third Age Trust)

The Milton Keynes branch (MKU3A) has about 1100 members and more than 80 groups. Events are usually held during the day, at venues all around the Milton Keynes area. We also hold monthly get-togethers, at which you can hear interesting speakers and get to know other members.

Everything we do is informal – there are no exams, qualifications or certificates. In fact there is no written work at all unless, maybe you join a writing group. Don’t let the word “university” put you off – we are open to all backgrounds and abilities. We are non-political and have no connections to any religion.

If you are no longer in full-time work and you want to meet new people, then have a look around to see what we have on offer. And if you have a skill or interest that we don’t currently cover we can support you to find some like-minded people to start a new group.

We are also good value. Membership costs £20 in the first year (£15 p.a. after that) and you can join as many groups as you want. Each time you attend a group you pay a small amount – a minimum of 50p (a little more if the group has additional costs).

Please enjoy exploring our website and if you would like to join get in touch and we will send you an information pack.  Please call the office on 01908 281717 or send an email to the Office
