Company Description
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments. They study the basic constituents of matter—fundamental particles that collide at close to the speed of light. This process provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is a core value of the organization.
Job Description
Participate in CERN’s Administrative Student Programme!
There’s no better way to learn than through on-the-job experience. If you're an undergraduate in Administration seeking practical training or a final project placement, you could spend 2 to 12 months at CERN during your studies (Bachelor or Master). If your university encourages or requires work experience through an internship, consider doing this at CERN in Geneva.
The internship can be in various disciplines, such as translation, human resources, secretarial work, business administration, logistics, law, finance, accounting, library and information science, engineering management, science communication, education, audiovisual, communication and public relations, psychology, or audit. Successful applicants will learn and contribute their knowledge across these domains.
Qualifications
To qualify for the programme, you must meet the following requirements:
* You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
* You have completed at least 18 months/3 semesters of your undergraduate studies (Bachelor or Master’s) by the next selection round in November 2025.
* You remain registered as a full-time student during the internship.
* You have a good knowledge of English or French.
Please note: If you are studying in a STEM/engineering field, you are not eligible for this position. Instead, consider applying for the CERN Technical Student programme.
Additional Information
CERN seeks to benefit from your expertise, commitment, and passion. In return, CERN offers:
* A contract of 2 to 12 months.
* An allowance of 3452 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax).
