If you are an EU/EEA national and already professionally qualified as a civil engineer in another EU/EEA Member State, you may be eligible to apply to ICE via the European Diplomate route. The profession of civil engineer is not regulated in the UK, and so it is not necessary to be registered with ICE in order to practise as a civil engineer in the UK. However, the protected titles of EngTech TMICE, IEng MICE and CEng MICE are regulated for the purposes of the Directive.
In order to check whether your existing professional qualification is regulated under the Directive please refer to the European Commission Regulated Professions database.
If the profession of civil engineering is not regulated in your home Member State, you may be eligible to apply via this route if you have relevant qualifications and have full time professional experience as a civil engineer of at least 2 years out of the last 10 in your home Member State.
Please consult Membership Guidance Note 28 for further details on making an application via this route and to check your eligibility. If you have any queries about your eligibility for this route please send your enquiry with a copy of your CV to erp@ice.org.uk.
Applications are considered by the ICE´s Exemption and Recognition Panel. An application can be submitted to the ICE at any time by completing the European Diplomate Application Form. Assessments are completed on a case by case basis, and you will receive a decision on your application within 4 months of confirmation of receipt of the necessary documentation.
Guidance on completing your application is available from ICE`s network of Membership Development Officers (MDO) in the UK. You can find the MDO for your Region by visiting the About ICE section of the website. If you are applying from outside the UK, please contact erp@ice.org.uk for guidance.
