The Senior Citizens’ University of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) opened the 2024-2025 academic year with a ceremony at the Auditorium, presided over by the vice-rector for Studies and Lifelong Learning, Isabel García Izquierdo, the academic director, Inmaculada Rodríguez, and coordinator Pilar Escuder.

This 26th edition sees the highest enrollment since the programme started in 1998, with 1,211 students, a 10% increase from last year.  In her speech, the vice-rector welcomed students, emphasizing that this year offers an opportunity to further establish the Senior Citizens’ University as a space for knowledge exchange and intergenerational solidarity. She also highlighted the importance of lifelong learning for improving the quality of life for adults and seniors.

The Senior Citizens’ University offers three main tracks: the Senior University Degree and Postgraduate, held at the Castelló campus, and Senior Classrooms in different municipalities.  The Senior Degree includes core subjects, optional courses based on students' interests, and a research project reflecting the knowledge and skills gained over three years. In the Senior Postgraduate, students can choose between the Transversal or Specific programmes. The Transversal covers subjects like history, economics, and ecological transition, while the Specific focuses on topics like music or philosophy.

Municipalities like Morella, Vilafranca, Segorbe, Sant Mateu, Vinaròs, and Port de Sagunt participate in the programme, offering core and optional subjects, plus activities beyond the classroom.

A new addition this year is the Senior Citizens’s University’s Erasmus+ accreditation, granting it the status of a Mobility Centre. This will enable students to work on transversal skills and share experiences with European seniors.
