Administrative Studentship

The Administrative Studentship is a paid studentship at CERN offering students in administration, business and management hands-on experience working on real projects within CERN’s administrative departments. Placements last from 2 to 12 months and take place onsite in Geneva. Participants collaborate with professionals across functions, develop organisational and soft skills, and gain experience relevant to administrative careers in an international research environment.
