This research links to DP CNPq-PROPE/PUC Goiás Educação, História, Memória e Culturas in different social spaces. It aims to comprehend the rise, in the context of contemporary public higher education, of a new educative individual not found in normative guidelines: the undergraduate from the "Golden-Age" in a tertiary education programme designed for youngsters at an age range from 18 to 24 years old. The locus of the theoretical and empirical thinking was the Universidade Estadual de Goiás - UEG (State University of Goiás) from 2000-2018. The orientational topic or fundamental inquiry consists of comprehending the entirity of reasons that may explain the rise of these new educative individuals, the "GoldenAgers" graduates from different university programme types. As its main goal, this thesis seeks to reveal which reasons have taken these individuals, the graduates, to a higher education programme at UEG after reaching 60 years old. The specific objectives are: 1) Which are the theoric and conceptual contributions from the protagonism of "Golden Age" in many contexts, particularly at university programmes?; 2) What historic and social movement from the expansion and diversification of Brazilian higher education has taken place during the presidencies of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff?; 3) Which are the historic and social attributes of UEG, especially when it comes to its process of establishing in the countryside?; 4) How did the attendance of "GoldenAgers" undergraduates at UEG (2000-2018) take shape, demonstrated by the motion of places, demand, acceptances, enrollments and commencements? Acknowledged by literature review as a new matter e poorly researched in Brazil, this delving has a critic and exploratory attribute and a qualitative nature, resorting to literature, statistical and narrative procedures, taken from the official records of UEG, literature review and interviews The decision of studying the graduates is justified by the quest for the academic trajectory, from admission to graduation. Then, 15 graduates from the "Golden-Age" were selected, meeting the criteria of graduating from the university's major departments and courses. In order to analyse the surveys and to build the narratives, the comprehensive sociology methodology by Pierre Bourdieu was used. As the conclusion found in this study, we have the following topics: the attributes of the "Golden-Age" individuals' profile and graduates from UEG aged 60 and older; the admissions' upward tendency of elders at UEG; the reasons given by the graduates for seeking another or the first university degree after reaching 60 years of age and work, illustrating the main factors that influenced this trajectory and what challenge the institution has to constitute and solidify itself as an university according to legislation and guidelines directed to handle this specific group. The research consolidates the need for change among universities regarding the handling of these individuals that, in their everyday life, have the possibility of being an active and productive individual at a more just and equalitarian society. Such individual, from the "Golden Age", who has an active part in his/her rights and duties, in a discussion the holds a glimpse of the termination of prejudice and discrimination that are still present in social contexts. The research also discloses the rise of a new "Golden-Ager" educative individual that craves for recognition and productivity at the heart of society
