香港城市大學「長者學苑」
為嚮應勞工及福利局和安老事務委員會令長者可以積極樂頤年、活出豐盛人生，香港城市大學於2008年在校內成立「長者學苑」。
2022-2023年，香港城市大學「長者學苑」已成立了十四週年。每一學期，城大開放本科生學科部份學額予長者以旁聽生身份修讀。長者學員與本科生一起上課，出席課程及小組討論卻不需要參加任何考核及評估，故此亦不計算任何學位或學分。在學期間，長者學員可享用大學圖書館及電腦設施。同時，每位長者學員均可參與「城大老友記」計劃，由城大學生擔任嚮導，讓長者學員容易適應大學的生活。
第二十九屆「長者學苑」課程由城大20個學術單位提供47個本科生科目供長者修讀。2022/23學期B將於2022年8月29日開課，為期13週。
