Students & Educators
CERN values its interaction with students and educators. A number of educational programmes, guided tours and summer schools are available for students and teachers, to help both groups learn more about CERN, particle physics and our place in the universe.
Teachers
- Why not spend your summer participating one of our teacher programmes?
- You could arrange a visit to S'Cool LAB, where students can do hands-on experiments in particle physics.
- Or arrange a visit to CERN for you and your class?
Students
- Check out the About CERN section for general information on particle physics, CERN, its accelerators and experiments.
- Follow along with lectures by CERN physicists and engineers on iTunesU
- How about spending your university training period in an exciting international and multidisciplinary environment at the forefront of engineering, technology and physics? Try a CERN Student work placement.
- CERN also offers a summer student programme and further internship opportunities for students. Get in touch to find out more!
