The Oxford University Royal Naval Unit is based at Falkland’s House, Oxpens Road, with our ship, HMS Tracker, based in Portsmouth. During term time we have drill nights, and sea weekends, (as well as a fair number of ‘mess dinners’ and other social events - we have the cheapest bar in Oxford!) with longer deployments during the Easter and Summer holidays. There are opportunities to take part in Adventurous Training, and an annual inter-URNU sports weekend between all 14 units. And you get paid for it all! If you have any questions or are interested injoining, please drop us a line!

From the official Royal Navy URNU website:

There are currently 14 URNUs supporting the countries’ leading Universities in England, Wales and Scotland. The organisation’s Mission is to “educate a wide spectrum of high calibre undergraduates who show potential as society’s future leaders and opinion formers in order to better inform them of the need for and role of the Royal Navy, and to develop awareness of career opportunities in the Service.” Each URNU is commanded by a RN Lieutenant who is responsible for 51 undergraduates who each join the URNU as RN Reservists for their 3 years at University. Training is conducted one evening a week in shore units at or near the University and at sea, over the weekends and during the vacations, by a dedicated Archer Class P2000 20 metre Patrol craft.
