The article characterizes the relationship of educational activity of the elderly with a more optimal way of experiencing their ageing, which could be indicated by a higher measure of their overall level of satisfaction with life. The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth analysis of the components of life satisfaction among actively learning seniors. A questionnaire survey was conducted with the voluntary participation of 405 third age university students (U3A). Data were collected on the critical areas comprising individual well-being illustrating the variation in the experience of old age among active mature learners. Only 6.8% of the U3A learners are not satisfied with their life achievements. Seniors with four or more children were found to be most satisfied, suggesting that self-actualization in the family and educational domains need not be competitive. The analysis of the health component of life satisfaction showed a clear overrepresentation of seniors with good psychophysical condition. In general, successful ratings of the component measures of life satisfaction of the actively learning seniors predominate.
