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 Engineering Council
  • a platform to work towards Chartered Member (MIChemE)
  • digital Associate Member logo to use on business cards, email signatures etc.

If you’re a recent graduate whose first degree is in another subject or at another level, apply for Affiliate Member.
