Am I eligible to be a Student member?

  • Yes, if you are currently studying at college or working towards your first undergraduate course (for qualification up to MEng) at university. Please refer to the course search or the JBM website for a list of eligible MEng programmes.
  • Yes, if you are a pre-university student who is on a year in industry placement. If you are a Pre-University Year in Industry Student and want to become an ICE student member please apply using ICE 3211.
  • No, if you are enrolled on a post-graduate programme of study such as a specialist MSc, MBA, Phd or DPhil. In this case you should become a Graduate member.

Course search

You can use the course search to see whether:

  • your current or intended course of study will meet the requirements for future membership
  • you are eligible for Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration.  

If the qualification is not listed on the course search, it may be accredited but not yet listed in our database. This may be the case for qualifications accredited through international accords, registers, and other agreements

How to apply

If you meet the eligibility criteria for free student membership, then you can make an application online.

 

Upgrading to graduate membership?

If you already have a:

  • National or Higher National Certificate/Diploma
  • Foundation Degree
  • BSc or BEng
  • MEng

You can enrol as a graduate member of ICE, even if you are continuing your studies. This enables you to sign up for an ICE approved Training Agreement with your employer and speeds the process towards Membership (MICE, TMICE) and professional registration with the Engineering Council as CEng, IEng, EngTech.
