Graduate Membership
Cost: £50
Graduate Membership is available to all applicants who possess a relevant(2) PhD, MSc, or degree, for such time as is necessary to meet the minimum professional experience requirements for Associate Membership.
Graduate members are not entitled to use a suffix.
Notes:
(1) Those with less than the requisite academic or professional qualifications may apply for Associate or Affiliate membership until they obtain the requirements for Full membership. This includes applicants whose experience is limited to survey work. Whilst welcoming applications from candidates specializing in a particular area, IEEM considers that for Full membership there will normally be a requirement to demonstrate proficiency in more than one group and to place surveys in a wider ecological context.
(2) Depending on the ecological content, the following degrees might be considered relevant: Ecology, Biological Sciences, Zoology, Botany, Countryside Management, Environmental Sciences, Marine and Freshwater Management, Earth Sciences, Agriculture, Forestry, Geography, Landscape Management.
(3) A second piece of written work may be required. This might be the submission of material referred to in the statement or further evidence of an understanding of the application of the principles of ecology and environmental management.
(4) The Institute in the first instance will award the level of membership that is considered appropriate to the experience and qualifications of the applicant. Should an additional piece of written work be required to upgrade membership, the applicant should accept the grade offered in the interim.
