The mission of the Third Age University is to help preserve existing knowledge, skills, and abilities in later life while also fostering the acquisition of new ones. Faculty members and academic staff at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University are committed to ensuring that Third Age University students experience an active, participatory, healthy, productive, successful, and lifelong learning-oriented aging process.


Vision

Students of Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University’s Third Age program will take both theoretical and practical courses in a variety of fields such as health, law, history, nutrition, culinary arts, agriculture, oral and dental health, and healthy aging. In addition to academic instruction, students will engage in various activities and events to make effective use of their time.

Beyond benefiting from the physical facilities of the university, they will also enjoy close interaction with younger university students, experiencing the joy of intergenerational solidarity. It is envisioned that Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Third Age University will become an attractive and preferred educational institution for older individuals in the region.
