If this sounds like you, then you deserve to see your professionalism recognised by gaining the CEng title. Why wait? Apply today by contacting the relevant Licensed Professional Engineering Institution (PEIs).
Eligibility for CEng
The CEng title is open to anyone who can demonstrate the required professional competences and commitment, as set out in the professional standard UK-SPEC. Individuals generally develop these through education and working experience.
The application process for CEng registration is more straightforward for those with exemplifying academic qualifications. For CEng this is one of the following:
- A Bachelors degree, with Honours, in engineering or technology, accredited for CEng, plus an appropriate and accredited Masters degree or Engineering Doctorate (EngD), or appropriate further learning to Masters level
- An accredited integrated MEng degree
Please note:
- If you gained academic qualifications which, at the time you gained them, were recognised as the exemplifying qualifications for CEng, these are still considered
- Applicants holding the exemplifying qualifications are automatically eligible for [Interim Registration]
You can still become a Chartered Engineer without these academic qualifications. Further information about the individual, work-based, assessment process can be found in UK-SPEC and from your Licensed PEI.
