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 or Institute that accredits the programme on which they are registered, in order to take advantage of the benefits that are on offer.

Professional accrediting Institutions or Institutes 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 list:
