We are committed to keeping BNA Membership affordable at every career stage.
Postgraduate membership costs £22 per year when paid by annual Direct Debit, or £24 when paid by credit or debit card.
This membership type is for current postgraduate students undertaking a Masters programme or PhD, F1 and F2 junior doctors and Assistant/Trainee Clinical Psychologists.
Proof of current student status will be required in order to evidence eligibility. This can be a photo or pdf of your student ID card, enrollment information or a headed letter from your insitution. You will be asked to upload this during the online application process. Your membership will be approved pending review of the supplied information.
Please note, Postgraduate Membership can only be obtained once and cannot be applied should a member return to full time education after time as an early career researcher or full member.
