Engineering Council

UK courses accredited for Engineering Council registration are listed on the Engineering Council accredited courses database. Some overseas courses are also listed on our database. If your course is not listed on our database you might find it in one of the following locations:

• Europe: a large number of European degrees are listed on the European Engineering Education Database (EEED, previously the FEANI INDEX)
• Outside Europe: courses accredited in overseas countries that are part of the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) can be found on the IEA website. You should use the links on the Washington Accord, Sydney Accord or Dublin Accord accredited programmes pages of the IEA website.

If you are still unable to find your course please contact us and we will be happy to assist. 

If your qualification is not accredited you may demonstrate the required knowledge and understanding in other ways. Please contact a relevant professional engineering institution for further information.

If you search just by university you can see all the programmes accredited for that university. If your degree does not appear it is probably not accredited.  However, occasionally there may be an explanation as to why an accredited programme is not listed. Please ask your university first if it is an accredited programme.  If the university believes that it is accredited, they should contact the relevant professional engineering institution to check the degree’s accredited status.

Please don’t contact the Engineering Council until you have done this as we can only direct you to the professional engineering institution.

No.  Degrees are accredited on request from the university. If you wish to seek professional registration, you may do so by what is known as the ‘individual route’. This assessment is carried out by a professional engineering institution licensed by the Engineering Council – please contact a relevant institution for further information.
