Accreditation of degree programmes

IET Accreditation is an internationally respected benchmark awarded to high quality programmes that provide an ideal preparation for aspiring professional engineers.

Accredited programmes assist individuals by demonstrating that they meet some or all of the underpinning knowledge and understanding requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer or Chartered Engineer. This is achieved through the assessment of programmes against defined and accepted standard criteria.

You can check if a degree programme is accredited by searching our list of IEng and CEng accredited programmes. You will need to ensure that you have the correct title, designation and the year the cohort enrolled into year one of the programme.

Why choose the IET?

The IET brings over 25 years' experience of programme accreditation against professional standards for IEng and CEng status and can help you:
