Join the College
After obtaining MRCP(UK), diplomates are eligible to join the College. We encourage you to learn about the wide range of membership benefits and how we can support you throughout your professional career.
Diploma Ceremony
Come together and celebrate your achievement with family and friends
Candidates passing MRCP(UK) are welcome to the college to celebrate this achievement with a diploma ceremony.
Diploma ceremonies are a highlight of the college calendar as it provides an opportunity to come together and celebrate with family and friends. We believe it is important to celebrate after all the hard work, commitment and dedication that goes into getting to this stage in your career.
You're welcome to celebrate your MRCP(UK) passing success at one of our ceremonies regardless of which college you sat your exam with, and you don't need to be a member of the Edinburgh College to attend.
