EMBL welcomes undergraduate students of all disciplines in the natural sciences extending from biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics to medicine, informatics and engineering.
EMBL offers opportunity for undergraduates to carry out research at one of EMBL’s laboratories in Heidelberg (Germany), Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (near Cambridge, UK), Rome (Italy) or Barcelona (Spain).
Undergraduate internships are normally part of student’s Diploma, Bachelor or Masters’ thesis project at another institution. However, internships outside of the formal arrangement of an undergraduate thesis are also considered.
EMBL has a large student body that represents more than 40 nationalities and therefore contributes substantially to the colourful life throughout our laboratories. Most of the students are enrolled in the EMBL International PhD Programme, whilst others joined EMBL as visiting PhD students or as undergraduate students and interns who will go on to join top PhD programmes around the world.
