Student Members should, normally, be pursuing a course of study leading to one of the following qualifications:

  1. a degree in mathematics,
  2. a degree in mathematics in combination with another subject,
  3. a joint degree in mathematics with another subject, or
  4. a degree with a sufficient mathematical component such as would be the case in some physics and engineering programmes.

Degrees listed in number 2, 3 and 4 would need to contain a minimum of 50% of mathematics at undergraduate level.

An application should be accompanied by confirmation of appropriate studies, for example a copy of a letter confirming registration on a relevant course.

Please note: membership of the Institute does incur an annual membership fee these will requested should your application be successful.  Current rates can be found on our Membership rates page.

How to Apply

To apply for Student Member you must supply all the information requested, either on the application form or on myIMA, and indicate your agreement to the declaration. This agreement constitutes a contract to abide by the rules of the Institute.

Applications for Student Membership may be accepted by the Membership Manager on behalf of the Membership Committee provided the applicant clearly meets the requirements for the grade.  Where it is not clear that the applicant meets the requirements the application is referred to the Institute’s Membership Committee Qualification Sub-Group.

Further Information

Please note: Being elected to the Student Member grade does not guarantee automatic entry to the Associate Member (AMIMA) grade. All applications for AMIMA supported by non-accredited degrees require assessment at the time of transfer.

Student Members should normally apply for transfer to another grade after not more than seven years in the Student Member grade.

Full-time postgraduate students may become or remain AMIMA but pay the Student rate for up to three years.
