Eligibility

To be eligible for student membership you must either be studying for an undergraduate level qualification, or a post-graduate qualification on a full-time basis in either an engineering or technology* subject. Applicants on Graduate Training Schemes are considered as being in full-time employment and so are not entitled to student membership.

Once your studies are complete, you can transfer or upgrade your membership to gain designatory letters without the need to provide supporter details as long as you remain in continuous membership.
