Liverpool URNU

Liverpool URNU Welcome to Liverpool University Royal Naval Unit's Official page. Alternatively you can follow us on Twitter

LURNU is one of 15 units across the country with around 700 members in total. As well as sea based training on our ship, HMS Charger, LURNU combines leadership, sports, adventurous training and of course an active social side in order to develop undergraduates who show potential as leaders of the future. We have a maximum of 50 members and recruit from the Liverpool and Lancaster universities. Stu

dents attend training nights every Thursday as well as regular weekends either on ship, taking part in adventurous training or competing in various sports. Every member should also take part in at least one 2 week deployment aboard HMS Charger each year where leadership is honed and maritime skills tested at sea. Students work through a 'taskbook' in order to progress through the syllabus, eventually earning the right to wear the rank of Midshipman RNR. Other opportunities include deployments 'in fleet' - 6 LURNU students recently joined HMS Illustrious for a major multinational exercise giving them first hand experience of an active warship. Others have recently returned from North America on HMS Protector, the Navy's Ice patrol ship. A handful of students also get the opportunity to go and learn to fly with the fleet air arm, or go on fieldcraft exercises. Students leave the URNU after 3 years with an appreciation and understanding of the Navy's role in today's society. Whilst students are not committed to joining the Navy a good proportion do. Whether they do or not, it is hoped their experiences in the URNU will help increase society's awareness in the Navy.

Last weekend, students from LURNU took part in this year's leadership weekend at Altcar Training Camp.

Students took part in numerous practical leadership tests (PLT's) testing leadership ability and working towards achieving level 5 NVQ in command leadership and management accredited by the chartered management institute. Received a unique insight into military life from lectures in various fieldcraft and navigation courtesy of RMR Manchester.

The weekend offers students the ability to develop valuable life skills not offered during university classes such as leadership, confidence and teamwork which will go on to help achieve their future careers either civilian or military.

Earlier this year OCs and Staff of Liverpool URNU and Oxford URNU took part in the weapons engineer officer insight scheme visit to Barrow-in-Furness pictures standing on the casing of HMS AUDACIOUS.

The URNU is a great way to gain an insight into life in all branches of the naval service.

"The aim of the URNU is to develop an understanding of the Naval Service in undergraduates, so that those who go into civilian employment are positive advocates thereof and to facilitate a Naval Career for those who chose one."
