CERN Student Opportunities

Overview

Technical, administrative and research student opportunities at CERN.

About CERN

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, runs several distinct programmes for students rather than one single internship track — including its well-known Summer Student Programme and technical/administrative student programmes for those studying physics, engineering, computer science and related fields. Based at the Swiss-French border near Geneva, CERN gives student participants direct exposure to the experiments and infrastructure behind some of the world's largest particle physics research.

Benefits & Compensation

• Paid

Requirements & Eligibility

• Target level: Undergraduate to PhD

How to Apply

1. 1Identify which specific CERN student programme fits your field and study level, since eligibility, duration and application windows differ across CERN's several student tracks.
2. 2Submit your application, including academic transcripts and, for research-track programmes, a statement of interest in a specific area of CERN's work, through CERN's official recruitment portal.
3. 3Watch programme-specific deadlines closely — CERN's Summer Student Programme in particular runs on a fixed annual application window months before the programme itself begins.
