PRECONDITIONS

In a general sense, anyone who wishes to can access UMAFY’s studies, regardless of their previous education or qualifications. The only condition is to be over 55 years old, having reached this age before December 31st of the year in which enrollment takes place.

Despite this age restriction, and in line with UMAFY’s ideals of openness and intergenerational learning, a certain number of slots have been reserved for individuals between the ages of 18 and 54. However, these slots cannot exceed 30 percent of the total.

In any case, the choice of content, teaching methodology, and delivery will be carried out according to the demands and possibilities of older adults, as it aligns with UMAFY’s stated objective. In this regard, UMAFY adheres to Article 51.5 of the LOGSE, which states that “the organization and methodology of adult education will be based on self-learning, based on their experiences, needs, and interests.”

The UMAFY card is an identification card that certifies you as a member of the organization. Its validity lasts for one academic year.

Active professors, administrative and services staff, as well as students enrolled in UMAFY, regardless of their age, are eligible for the Cum Laude insurance coverage (Accident and Civil Liability).
