Membership for academic institutions
Support student success through IET Membership.
Students need more than technical knowledge to succeed in today's engineering and technology professions.
Alongside academic achievement, they need professional skills, industry awareness, networks and an understanding of the profession they are preparing to enter.
Offering student membership of the IET helps institutions connect students to the wider engineering and technology community, supporting their development throughout university and into their early careers.
Because better never stops.
What students gain from membership
Student Membership of the IET helps students engage with the engineering and technology profession while they study, giving them access to opportunities, resources and networks that support their development both during university and beyond.
Students can build professional confidence, connect with industry, develop workplace-ready skills, explore career pathways and begin understanding the standards, behaviours and expectations of their future profession.
By encouraging students to engage with professional development early, institutions can help foster a culture of continuous learning that supports long-term career success.
Connected to the profession from day one
As the only professional engineering institution spanning every engineering and technology discipline, we give students access to a diverse community that reflects how engineering works in practice.
Through our network of more than 158,000 engineering and technology professionals and over 500 organisations and institutions, students can connect with people, ideas and opportunities that help broaden their perspective and support their future careers.
Working together to support the next generation of engineers and technologists
