KTP removes fees for graduates and students
The Kamra tal-Periti has revised its membership fees following the approval of a motion presented by the Council during last December’s AGM. The motion, which was unanimously approved, provided for the consolidation of the various graduate membership tiers, into one single graduate membership level which is free of charge for the first two years. Graduate members will be requested to pay the full membership fee from the third year onward if they still have not been conferred their warrant.
The AGM also approved an agreement reached by the Council and the Society of Architecture & Civil Engineers Students of Malta (SACES), to accept SACES members as automatic KTP student members.
The objective of the motion was that of providing greater exposure to graduates and students to the current issues and challenges faced by the profession, as well as access to resources and courses so they may be better prepared to contribute to the profession and wider society in the future. It is also envisaged that these changes will encourage young architects and civil engineers to actively participate in this professional community.
The agreement reached between KTP and SACES bodes well for the strengthening of ties between the two bodies, and widens the scope for future collaboration.
The benefits of graduate and student membership include:
- Full access to resources and practice guidance on the KTP Website
- Free or discounted events and courses
- Mailing of the Architect, the Kamra’s quarterly magazine
- Greater awareness of issues affecting the profession and industry
- Access to international resources and opportunities through the Kamra’s international affiliations and partners, including scholarships, awards and competitions
How to join
Graduate members are requested to sign up on https://kamratalperiti.org/members by filling in their details. Following the necessary verifications by the Kamra to confirm that they are indeed architecture or civil engineering graduates, their membership application will be approved and they may immediately begin to enjoy the benefits of graduate membership.
Warrant holders are not eligible for graduate membership and must register for full membership.
Students who enroll as members of SACES will automatically become KTP student members. SACES will be regularly updating the Kamra on the list of its members so the benefits of KTP student membership can also be extended to them.
