Graduate membership

Engineers Ireland will be there with you throughout college and beyond, helping you to kick-start your career after graduation.

Please note, our Graduate offers require you to have had a Student membership during college to transfer to Graduate membership. The cut off for 2025 graduates to sign up for student membership is June 2025.

There are two offers of Graduate membership available to students of Engineers Ireland, which depend on your graduation year.

Student membership is free to students studying a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate Masters in Engineering or related course on the island of Ireland or UK. Please note PhD students are not eligible for student membership. You must apply for full membership with a reduced rate; for more information see here.
