Graduates & Students

There are around 4,000 graduate and student members in the London Region, more than half of our regional membership.

ICE London’s Graduates and Students (G&S) Committee is made up of keen volunteers from this group of 4,000 members.  We organise events, courses, competitions and socials, helping members develop their careers, providing support and allowing like-minded people to meet and socialise. The committee aims to help all G&S members - and in doing so, ourselves - to be better engineers.

If you are a graduate or student member with a postal address within the area governed by the Greater London Authority, then you are encouraged to join the ICE London G&S Committee. It’s only by becoming an active member that you’ll realise the benefits of being a member of the institution.

Our activities fit broadly within three strands:
Membership - which focuses on bringing new members into the institution, helping them discover the benefits of joining and providing opportunities for members to meet each other;
Knowledge - providing training opportunities for our members; and
Public Voice
- keeping everyone inside and beyond the institution informed of our activities.

G&S Committee meetings

These take place monthly, usually on the first Tuesday of the month.  If you would like to get involved and find out more about the committee's activities, come to one of the meetings. All graduate and student members are welcome, and attending is a great way to meet other volunteer engineers and network. We look forward to seeing you.
