The Geological Society of London is the recognised UK professional body for geoscientists across all areas of expertise.
We award the professional title of Chartered Geologist (CGeol) and are also licensed by the Science Council to award the title of Chartered Scientist (CSci). Both titles are of equal standing.
The 'Chartered' designation indicates a professional practitioner who has been peer assessed as having key professional competencies and experience in their field of practice. They are required to maintain their professional skills and knowledge through an appropriate programme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and are bound by an enforceable Code of Conduct.
How much does Chartership cost?
- £133.00 for Chartered Geologist application
- £135.00 for Chartered Scientist application

In order to maintain Chartered status you are required to pay an annual Chartership fee on top of your annual membership fee, showcasing your dedication to your professional development and 'competent person' status.

- £24 per year for Chartered Geologist (retired and not offering services)
