Registered Scientist

Registered Scientist (RSci) is an extension to the Science Council's existing professional registers, that was introduced in 2012.[1] This register extends the framework to allow professional recognition for higher technical roles. Holders of this qualification can use the post-nominal letters RSci. The Registered Scientist and Registered Science Technician (RSciTech), which was introduced at the same time, were developed with the support of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation.[2]

The UK Government stated in their Plan for Growth that this type of accreditation allows employers to trust the abilities of graduates.[3] This is due to the requirement of applicants to provide evidence that they meet specific competencies in their day to day role.[4]
