Eligibility

Full-time bachelor's or master's students (not PhD) in IT, computer science or related fields; good English; no previous CERN summer student programme or more than three months at CERN.

How to apply

  1. Check who can apply: semester, degree, CGPA and whether the internship is paid, unpaid, on-site or remote.
  2. Send a one-page CV that lists your best project first, with what you built, the tools you used and a result.
  3. Write a short, specific email or cover note: who you are, which internship, why that team, and when you are available.
  4. Apply early; many internships close once they have enough applicants, before the stated deadline.
  5. If you have heard nothing in a week or two, send one polite follow-up email.
