About Belfast Senior College

Belfast Senior College is a non-profit educational organization offering classes for those 50 years and older (and their spouses/partners) in community locations around Belfast.

If you are looking to meet people, advance your knowledge on a particular topic, learn about current events, or focus on personal growth, we have something for everyone. No tests, no grades, no pressure - just a vibrant community of lifelong learners here to welcome you!

Join the Senior College community by becoming a member, volunteering your time and expertise to teach or provide support, and taking classes.

Check out our "Belfast Senior College Today" video, which was first shared at our September, 2024, Annual Meeting. Special thanks to videographer Ned Lightner who donated his time and considerable expertise and to the interviewees, Ron Jarvella, Gloria Young, Bob Rackmales, Jean Durham, Stephanie Natale, Jeff Edwards, Denise Pendleton, and Mayo Bulloch.
