Flagship program
A master class at CERN.
A rare, immersive program for ambitious science and engineering students. Learn at the frontier of physics, at the world's largest particle-physics laboratory.
What it is
Learning shaped by the questions physics is still asking.
The Master Class at CERN is an immersive enrichment program centred on CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research and the world's largest particle-physics laboratory. It is built for students who don't just want to study science, but to stand close to where it's being made.
Over the program, students engage with the ideas, methods and instruments at the frontier of modern physics, from the structure of matter to the experiments that test our deepest theories. It's designed to sharpen curiosity, build genuine understanding, and give ambitious young scientists a head start.
