What This Programme Changes

Not a trip. A turning point.

A globally recognised credential. An application advantage that admissions officers notice immediately. And a shift in what a student believes is possible for their own future. This is what seven days at CERN leaves behind.

For the Student

What seven days at CERN does for a future

This is not a school trip. It's a credential — one that follows a student from their school application to their career, and is recognised at every stage.

📜

An international certificate — no expiry

Every student receives an official programme certificate for academic enrichment — globally valid, independently verifiable, and permanent. Recognised as an extraordinary credential for a school-level student in India.

🏛️

An Ivy League & top-university advantage

A CERN certificate and a capstone research project from school age is extraordinarily rare for an Indian student. On the Common App, UCAS, or a scholarship form, admissions officers notice it immediately — and it makes for a compelling personal statement.

🔬

Real science, beyond textbooks

S'Cool LAB experiments, cloud chamber demonstrations, cosmic ray detection, and live tours of the ATLAS and CMS detectors — the actual instruments that found the God Particle. Real science, not textbook science.

🌍

Confidence & a global outlook

Interacting directly with working scientists and Nobel Laureates changes what a student believes is possible for their own career. It builds global confidence, sharper communication, and analytical thinking that lasts.

Two Perspectives

Why parents encourage it — and why schools offer it

🌍

Build global confidence

An international academic environment at the highest level — often a student's first meaningful global experience.

🧠

Sharper communication & analysis

Presenting research to CERN scientists develops analytical thinking and the confidence to defend ideas.

🔭

Learning beyond textbooks

Meaningful, memorable engagement with world-class scientific ecosystems — the kind that shapes a temperament.

🎓

Prepares for an Ivy League path

A rare, verifiable credential and a research portfolio that strengthen future university and scholarship applications.

It is an investment in curiosity, knowledge, and future readiness.

🌐

Positions the school as a global leader

Offering a CERN programme signals a school operating at the frontier of science education in India.

📈

Enhances brand value & admission appeal

A distinctive, prestigious offering that strengthens the school's reputation with prospective families.

📚

Aligns perfectly with NEP 2020

Experiential, inquiry-led, globally connected learning — exactly the vision the National Education Policy sets out.

🎯

An exclusive opportunity

Available through UniConsult Education Services LLP — an opportunity very few schools can offer, with the teacher's programme fee covered.

The accompanying teacher participates in the full programme — and returns having stood inside the Large Hadron Collider.

In Their Own Words

What students came back saying

From some of India's most respected schools — the students who have already experienced science at CERN.

❝

We visited the antimatter factory and learned about this elusive substance with startling clarity. We even built our own cosmic ray detector using dry ice, isopropyl alcohol, an anodised aluminium plate and a small glass box.

❝

This is a must for all science lovers and for anybody who wants to learn more about the world. I am so inspired that I would like to come back someday and work alongside these amazing people.

Ananya Vinayak
The Shri Ram School
❝

The most complex engineering to study the most fundamental physics, the biggest machines to collide the smallest particles — the juxtaposition is just startling!

Atharva Shukla
The Doon School
❝

All the scientists at CERN were so passionate and approachable. It was really inspiring, and I came back with so much learning — not just about science, but about how to make teaching fun and engaging.

Vandana Banga
The Heritage School
❝

The trip showed me diverse fields of expertise — physics, chemistry, engineering, data computing, and many more.

The only qualifying criteria that truly matters

MasterClass @ CERN is open to students of Grades 9 to 12. But academic performance is not the gate. The single most important qualifying criterion is something no report card measures.

If a student has the curiosity to ask why, and the passion to keep learning, they belong at CERN.
