Summer program Definition and 19 Threads

I wanna spend my summers doing something meaningful before I join. I don't want to do it for Money or anything - just want to gain some experience and be useful. I have decent/good Maths, Physics, Chemistry and engineering foundation as well as programming skills and just wanna put them to use...

I just finished my sophomore year of high school and I'm taking Math 1A and physics 8A this summer. I got A's for both my physics II (school doesn't offer AP phys) and advanced algebra 2 + trig (I think it's equivalent to precalc, highest level offered in my grade) classes, but I feel like the...

Hi everyone, do you know a trip/educational trip to do in summer for a 1st year undergraduate student in Physics (in Europe)? I've heard about CERN summer students' school, but I think it' s alittoe bit too advanced for my knowledge of the subject.

It is that time of year again. Here's a space to check on acceptances for REU programs or other summer jobs. SULI and SURF come to mind. I imagine most of them will start coming by the end of the month. What are you waiting on? What are you excited for? What do you wish you had applied for? What...

Hello! Does anyone know what is (approximately) the acceptance rate for the CERN Summer Student Program? Thank you!

As the title says...I am hoping for recommendations for the 2017 summer. Specifically, Southeast US, one week residential, hopefully under or around 500 dollar physics or astronomy camp for rising 9-12 graders. Thank you very much.

I am a third year physics major doing my undergrad. First, let me give you an idea on my academic background. We just picked our majors this year, meaning before we had to take other courses like courses from Biology, Chemistry, etc. This year I'll be taking courses like Classical mech, Quantum...

I'm trying to think ahead and start looking for summer internships, I'll be done with my sophomore year of physics by then. I know there are a lot out there, I know of a few, have stumbled on a few, how do I find more? I know that getting as much experience as possible is necessary for my...

Hi everyone, I have applied to the LIGO summer program. But I'm not from Caltech. I'm wondering if anyone has heard back from Caltech yet. Thanks

Hi, has anyone applied to Perimeter Institute 2016 Undergraduate summer program? I just wonder how competitive this program is.

I am applying to an undergraduate summer school. I should write a CV, but I do not know how should I write it. I would be happy if anyone can help me with the same experience. Thanks.

Hello, I’m doing my first year of bachelor degree in physics in Italy and I would really like to get some research experience before my third year. Do you know any (international) summer research opportunity for a physics student who completed his first or second year of studies? I would be ok...

Hello guys, I'm a master's here in California and just accepted a job offer for the summer. I will be in charge of a pilot program where I am in charge of 15 students (juniors and seniors interested in science) for 2.5 hours a day, monday through thursday, for 5 weeks. I have to have them...

Hello, all! I am a junior at a small-ish school, and I have just decided to change my major from a B.S. in physics education to a B.A. in physics. I have a strong physics background (All A's and one B+ in my physics classes, all A's in math), and I've taken all of the lower-level physics...

Do you know any international summer program I physics for undergraduate students with free tuition? I am physics sophomore and I am interested in mathematical physics, gravitation, particles and fields.

Hello, I applied to work at LBNL or ORNL on fusion energy research this summer and haven't heard anything...have you, from any lab?? Thanks.

Hello, First of all I love the site! I really love exploring all the different subforums and learning a lot about all the different areas of physics and the rest of science. Anyways, I am a junior in high school, and I took a Pre-AP Physics class in my freshman year and liked it but didn't...

Hi, I am a junior in high school, and was wondering what would look better. A summer program at a university (probaly Rutgers - Physics), or a research program under a mentor (rutgers or princeton) Last summer I did a summer program at Harvard - Astronomy. I want to pursue...

Hey... I am a high school sophomore in Cheshire, Connecticut. I plan to study engineering once I get to university. In order to get a feel for what engineering entails, I decided to check out some engineering programs. However, I came across two college credit summer programs too - Harvard and...
