Student membership of Professional (accrediting) Institutions
Membership of a professional body is an important core strand of a student’s personal professional development, and students are encouraged to become a member of the Institution that accredits the programme on which they are registered, in order to take advantage of the benefits that are on offer.
In the case of programmes accredited by a Professional Engineering Institution licensed by the Engineering Council, membership is the first step to becoming a professionally qualified engineer (also see Routes to Chartership), and is is the only route to subsequently register as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Engineering Technician (EngTech).
Professional accrediting Institutions normally offer a student membership grade, and this is often free.The College has a Student Policy relating to membership of Professional Institutions.
To check if a programme is accredited, refer to the following lists:
Accredited programmes in Mining/Minerals Engineering and related subjects (Cornwall based)
Accredited programmes in Geology (Cornwall based)
Links to each Professional Institution (detailing the benefits of student membership, fees if applicable, and how to join) are provided below.
