  Applicants who already obtained a Masters degree or will obtain it by summer 2024 are not accepted.
• Applicants should not have previously been at DESY as a Summer Student.
• Please take note that due to regulations for paid traineeships in Germany we can only accept students that are enrolled at their university for the whole period of the Summer Student Program.

DESY has suspended all participation of Russian and Belarusian institutes in its scientific projects. Consequently no applications from students enrolled at Russian or Belarussian universities are accepted.
