As a DTU student, you have the opportunity to join a student programme or a short-term internship at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN. Find out more about your options.
The summer student programme has approximately 200 positions per year.
Fields of the programme
physics
engineering
computing
Length of programme
The length of programme is 8-13 weeks during the summer.
Eligibility
3 years of full-time studies at university level.
Conditions
High-quality lecture programs. Lecturers are leaders in their field. Visits and workshops.
You will receive a monthly allowance of 1,500 Swiss Francs: please note, however, that the cost of living in Geneva is high and this allowance is just a complement. You should have adequate financial resources to support yourself in the local area.
You will need to have full insurance cover valid in the Geneva area for medical expenses, work and private accidents as well as any disability arising from professional and non-professional illness and accidents.
Eligibility
Full-time student at undergraduate level and at least 18 years.
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.
Founded in 1954, the CERN laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint ventures and now has 22 member states.
