  • How much does it cost to apply for Graduate Membership?

    Non-members will need to pay a non-refundable £50 application assessment fee. This enables us to assess your eligibility for membership.

    If your application is eligible for Graduate membership we will request the relevant society subscription fee - this payment will need to be received in order for us to admit you to membership.

    • The standard fee is £163.44.
    • For those who have graduated within the last five years from the qualification (giving eligibility for Graduate membership) the fee is £81.72
    • For those studying a postgraduate course or enrolled on a society qualification the fee is £42.48

    Please remember to enter your course's details on the application otherwise we won't know you're studying and will request one of the higher fees.

    If you also choose to join one or more of our Member Networks we will request their fees too.

    The application process outlines the fee for each network.
