IAP Student Membership

The IAP welcome student members. As a specialist professional body in the software development field, the IAP believe that well-designed software has a positive impact on industry, our communities and future. We feel it’s important to connect with academia in order to offer support to students who are studying for and planning a career in software and computer sciences.
