We offer all student members three months of First Full Year membership of BIOS for free in the year following graduation.

Once you’re in your first job, simply sign up for the membership that applies to you below. For members practising within the UK that will be ‘First Full Year (Graduate) – UK’, and in the Republic Of Ireland, ‘First Full Year (Graduate) – ROI’. We’ll even throw in a voucher worth £30 as a thank-you!

If you sign up to pay by direct debit, just return the form as normal, and we’ll set up your payments to start after three months. If you’d prefer to pay upfront, by Card or BACs transfer, we’ll only charge you for the equivalent of nine months.

If you have any questions about becoming a member or upgrading your membership, please contact our office at [email protected].
