Who can be a student member?
Anyone studying a CIPR approved course; those not on an approved course can still join as an affiliate studying member. See the Membership section for more information on joining the CIPR.
How do I apply?
In order to join as a student member you simply need to:
- Print and complete an application form (pdf)
- Get your course tutor to sign the relevant section on the form
- Return your application to the CIPR with your cheque or debit/credit card details
You can start your membership at any point in the year, although all students renew their membership on 1 October regardless of when they have joined. So it makes sense to join as soon as possible after the start of the course to get the most out of your subscription!
