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 our members say

I plan to become chartered with ICE and am currently on a training scheme at work. It’s good to know that my employer recognises how important professional qualification is. It shows that you're a well-rounded engineer because it needs technical, commercial and legal knowledge. You also need an understanding of the health and safety and sustainability parts of your work.

Emily Bonner, GMICE Structural engineer

I joined ICE because I wanted international professional recognition. Being a graduate member gives me the opportunity to be mentored so I can qualify as an MICE member. It also gives me a sense of belonging to a community of engineers across the world.

Points to note before applying
  1. If you've already started an application, please use the same email address when logging in to avoid creating a duplicate application.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
