Registered Scientist Registration

What is Registered Scientist?
Registered Scientist is a professional registration that recognises your competence on-the-job independent of discipline. It provides recognition for professional practice and experience and thus complements the academic qualifications you might also have. 

Typically, professionals need to have been working for a minimum of one year to achieve this and must either have a Foundation Degree qualification (Level 5) or be able to demonstrate that they are working at this level.

Registered scientist can provide a stepping stone on the journey to Chartered Scientist. It allows you to gain recognition for the work you do and the knowledge and skills you have.

Your registration will be based on your regulatory affairs experience but other scientists in other disciplines can also gain registration as a Registered Scientist. This allows you to show that you are equivalent to other people working in other aspects of drug or device development. It is based on 16 broad scientific competencies and to apply you need to demonstrate and evidence how you meet all these competencies in your daily work.
