Description
This 7-week internship (usually from late April to late June) (10 ECTS) will give students their first taste of research in astrophysics, cosmology, or particle physics. Internships at the intersection of these disciplines, more commonly known as "astroparticles," are also available. Internships may be more theoretical or more experimental in nature, depending on the choices of students and supervisors.
This internship can be carried out in a research laboratory in France or abroad. However, it traditionally takes place in one of the two joint research units (UMR) at Montpellier 2 University: the Montpellier Laboratory of Universes and Particles (LUPM, IN2P3) or the Charles Coulomb Laboratory (L2C, INP).
The internship will enable students to interact with a research team (national and/or international) and begin to discover the research topics they would prefer to develop in their future studies.
Objectives
Provide students with their first exposure to the world of research and its working methodology.
Mandatory prerequisites
Courses taught in S1 and S2 of the Cosmos, Fields, and Particles program
