• Based in Switzerland, CERN is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research.
• Whilst CERN’s main focus is particle physics, its research ranges from nuclear to high-energy physics, and from studies of antimatter to the possible effects of cosmic rays on clouds.
• CERN uses the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, such as the Large Hadron Collider. 
• CERN has made many groundbreaking discoveries, including the Higgs boson particle in 2012.

Opportunities like nowhere else on Earth

CERN recruits outstanding undergraduates and graduates from all STEM disciplines into a wide range of programmes.

As a graduate at CERN, you could work right at the forefront of scientific research, by joining us for research work in particle physics or take part in advanced development work in a broad range of applied science, engineering and technical fields.

If you’re an undergraduate, you could spend 4 to 12 months at CERN during the course of your studies. You’ll further your knowledge in a truly unique organisation and be able to get involved in world-famous experiments of unprecedented scale and scope.

Whichever route you take, it will be an extra-ordinary experience. At CERN you can look forward to a truly cosmopolitan life, offering a myriad of leisure activities. And CERN itself has numerous on-site facilities and social clubs. Take part!
