The University of Experience was created in the 2010-11 academic year and since then it has not stopped growing its learning offer. The Saló de la Gent Gran stand will offer visitors all the information related to the next academic year education programs. In this wide range of programs there are several knowledge fields such as astronomy and meteorology, biology, philosophy, pedagogy and health. The dates for pre-enrolment are from June 27 to July 1. People will be able to enrol during the first week of July.

The academic offer by the University of Experience is aimed to people aged over 55, and there are no previous academic requirements. It has a series of university programs which offer an in-depth, innovative and complimentary training to the higher education. This is a mixed learning model and in lots of cases, senior students share subjects with bachelor students. The length of these programs is about one or two academic years and teachers from the UB will lecture these classes.
