Become a Fellow

For holders of an honorary doctorate from a recognised institution.

Become a Founding Fellow

Become one of the first fifty Founding Fellows of the Society. As a Founding Fellow, your membership is free for life. If a Fellowship fee is introduced, it will never apply to you.

What happens next

Verification doesn't take long, usually no more than a few weeks. We verify the award, either with your awarding institution directly or from published conferment records where that is quicker. We will tell you the outcome either way. Your Founding Fellow place is confirmed when your award is verified.
