Other information

Spain is described as a cultural crossroads shaped by its geography between Western Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic. The history of the Iberian Peninsula was formed by waves of settlers and conquerors over hundreds of thousands of years, beginning with Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers who transformed the land through agriculture. Later groups such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Celtic tribes brought new technologies, ideas, plants, animals, and cultural influences, helping create the diverse regions and rich cultural identity that define Spain today.

This series of 12 lectures utilises 24 DVDs of 30 minutes duration followed by a discussion.

Anyone with an interest in Spain will be keen to join the discussion especially as Greg will have just returned from walking the 800 km Camino de Santiago

TUTOR: Greg is an accomplished presenter and has travelled widely – visiting over 70 countries since back-packing around Europe at the age of 20.

He has previously presented stories at U3APP from his yet to be completed memoir “Arrested in Laos and other hair-raising travel experiences”.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
