Liverpool John Moores University is Hosting the 3rd Annual Mastering Shipbuilding Management Course

Liverpool John Moores University will be hosting the 3rd annual Mastering Shipbuilding Management Course during the week of 22nd-26th June 2026 in Liverpool. 

The intense course is delivered by a gallery of expert speakers who address a wide range of shipbuilding topics. The unique nature of the course and high-quality delivery has led to it rapidly gaining a global reputation and attracting participants from as far afield as Europe and North America.  

The Mastering Shipbuilding Management (MSM) week provides a globally unique educational experience and is supported by the UK National Shipbuilding Office.

MSM is designed to provide both academic and practitioner content that will be helpful to:

• Shipbuilders seeking new knowledge.
• Managers looking to transfer their skills to the shipbuilding sector.
• Managers being given broader shipbuilding responsibilities.
• Government customers wishing to learn about the industry, its processes, and its challenges.

The educational activities and talks shall relate to the context of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, Shipyard benchmarking, safety, the environment, sustainability, and legislation; management disciplines, technical aspects, and processes.

The host venue of Liverpool makes the course particularly attractive to international delegates. The magic of Liverpool lies in its unique blend of rich maritime history, vibrant culture, and legendary music scene, especially its connection to The Beatles. Liverpool holds a unique identity, as seen in the historic Albert Dock, iconic landmarks like the Liver Building, and its thriving arts and sporting spirit.
