The Engineering Council and the Professional Institutions A degree in any of the engineering disciplines taught in the University may give exemption from the Part I and Part II examinations of the Engineering Council. This, depending on content and standard, will satisfy the academic requirements of one or more of the constituent professional institutions, which are:

On satisfying an institution's additional requirements, including practical training and experience, the degree holder will become a corporate member of that institution and may then apply for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
