RIBA Council has approved a new membership structure which will introduce new 鈥榞raduate鈥� and 鈥榝ellow鈥� membership categories.

The 鈥榞raduate鈥� class will formally recognise academic achievement and the 鈥榝ellow鈥� class is reserved for architects 鈥渁t the height of their profession鈥� and will be assessed on individual merit and achievement, the Institute said.

In a statement today, the RIBA added that it is seeking to modernise the 鈥淩IBA professional pathway鈥� and had spent 18 months on researching and consulting on the move.

However, there will be no immediate change to the membership structure with the modernisation plan to be discussed further by RIBA Council in December.

RIBA President Stephen Hodder said: 鈥淭he RIBA is committed to providing membership that is valued, sustainable for the 21st century and above all stands for professional excellence and achievement. 

鈥淭he upcoming changes to the membership offer will ensure that the RIBA encourages wider diversity, including EU & Internationally based architects, whilst not diminishing the high standards or status of RIBA chartered membership.

鈥淭he changes have been developed following our recent membership review, the most comprehensive for in 25 years. These are important steps in providing an improved, streamlined membership offer that will deliver what our members have told us they want.鈥�

The following criteria, affixes and labels were agreed by Council for 鈥渇uture implementation鈥�:
