Associate Member

Our Associate Member grade demonstrates your commitment to your career as a professional chemical engineer. Associate Members already have degree-level knowledge and understanding of chemical engineering and are typically working towards qualification as a Chartered Chemical Engineer.

Associate Members get access to all membership resources plus:

  • AMIChemE post nominal letters
  • the opportunity to apply for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration with the Engineering Council, or Registered Scientist (RSci) with the Science Council
  • a platform to work towards Chartered Member (MIChemE)
  • digital Associate Member logo to use on business cards, email signatures etc.

  • hold a chemical engineering undergraduate degree, or an IChemE accredited degree of a different title, at bachelor's level with honours (or higher), or
