Individual membership categorisation

In view of the expansion of the SUT around the world, it has been decided that the Individual Membership rates should be reviewed.

To be more equitable for individuals joining the Society from many different countries, it has been decided that individuals and corporate academic members in countries listed in Band A below should pay membership rates at a level equating to that at present levied.

For those in Band B, rates will be approximately 50% of that and for those in Band C at approximately 33%. Overseas members in localities that are not served by a local Branch will also be eligible for a further 20% reduction (where there is a Branch, then the full rate commensurate with the Band will be paid and the 20% that would otherwise have been rebated will be passed to the Branch to help finance it, there being no separate Branch Membership).

If your country is not listed, please contact our Membership Secretary at
