Czech university students have a bigger chance to be selected to the student programmes of CERN. This has been made possible by the Agreement between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (MEYS) and CERN. Within the framework of the programmes, students of Czech universities in technical fields of Doctoral, Master and Bachelor studies can apply for studentship in the areas such as applied physics, IT, mechanical and civil engineering, electronics, robotics, mathematics, etc. The programmes are opened also for “administrative” students in the fields of law, finance, logistics, translation, HR, etc.
Doctoral Student Programme allows the students to work on their Ph.D. thesis in CERN. The students can apply for a studentship in fields such as applied physics, IT, mechanical and civil engineering, electronics, robotics, mathematics, etc. The length of the stay at CERN is between 6 and 36 months.
Technical Student Programme is aimed at Bachelor and Master Degree students. The students can apply for a studentship in fields such as applied physics, IT, mechanical and civil engineering, electronics, robotics, mathematics, etc. The duration of the internship is from 4 to 12 months. About 120 students are selected for the programme every year.
Administrative Student Programme is aimed at undergraduate students specializing in administration (fields as law, finance, HR, translation, logistics, etc.) to spend a training period of 2 to 12 months during the course of their studies (Bachelor or Master).
