Who is graduate membership for?
You can apply online for graduate membership if you have an approved or accredited academic qualification.
Don't worry if your qualification isn't accredited – you can still become a graduate member. When applying online, you'll be automatically be asked to complete an academic assessment as part of your application.

What do I need to apply?
Applying for graduate membership is easy - we'll guide you through the process via our online application tool.
Before you start, its handy if you've got the following information (don't worry if you haven't - you can make a start and come back to it!):
- Details of your university / college and the course you sat
- A countersigned photocopy of your undergraduate and/or postgraduate qualification(s) (this can be a certificate, letter from the university or an official course transcript/mark sheets/diploma supplement).
- A counter signatory both confirms the photocopy is a true copy and that they recommend you for ICE membership. Normally they will be your line manager or a senior staff member at your company, or your university or college tutor if you are studying for a post graduate qualification. Alternatively, they could be a professionally qualified member and/or Fellow of ICE.
- Your certification needs to include the signatory's name / date they signed / their position / their employer / their contact details / and the statement 'I confirm this to be a true copy of this applicant's qualification and I recommend them for graduate membership of the ICE'
- If any of the documents above are not in English, you also need to send us a countersigned English translation.
How much does it cost?
When registering for the first time, individuals need to pay an application fee, an annual subscription fee, and the applicable Engineering Council fee.
If you are on a reduced income, you may be eligible for a reduced subscription rate. Find out more below.
Points to note before applying
- If you've already started an application, please use the same email address when logging in to avoid creating a duplicate application.
- If you join in the year in which you graduate, by 30 September of that year (receipt of graduation certificate, letter, course transcript), then no subscription fees are payable for the remainder of this calendar year.
- If you join part way through any subsequent year, graduate member rates are pro-rata so the payment you make maybe less than the fee listed.
