Description

Are you currently studying for a Bachelor or Master degree in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or Mathematics? Are you looking for a practical training period during the European summer (June – September)? If so, this could be the opportunity for you: apply now for the CERN Summer Student Programme!

One of CERN’s key missions is education. Our professionals very much enjoy sharing their knowledge and expertise with students who are committed and passionate about their chosen field. And there’s no better way to learn than on-the-job: when that job happens to be in a world-famous research organisation and centre of scientific excellence, it’s even better.

This is what our 2019 Summer Students had to say about their experience:

“Perfect and unforgettable, the best summer program in the world. “

“Simply it is a once in a life time opportunity that you could have and I am so glad that you gave me this opportunity. This will allow me to dream bigger and achieve greatest thing in future. The knowledge and the experience, I gain through my project and this programme is not just academic it another level that extended to social skills and working environment and many more. This is the best summer I ever had and it will be for a long time. “

Over a period of 8 to 13 weeks, you will work on an advanced technical project in an experimental or engineering team.

During this unique and exciting time, you can attend a series of lectures specially prepared for you where experts and scientists from around the world share their knowledge about a wide range of topics in the fields of theoretical and experimental particle physics, engineering and computing. Visits to the CERN facilities, as well as discussion sessions and workshops are also key features of the programme. Find out more on the Summer Student information page. A short report on your work and project at CERN will be expected at the end of your stay.
