AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking internship opportunities in Europe, specifically in Computational Physics and Astrophysics, with financial support from the Erasmus program. Participants recommend thorough online research for internships or summer programs, emphasizing the importance of starting the search early, ideally in January, as it may be too late to find opportunities now. Suggestions include reaching out to professors and checking departmental bulletin boards for potential openings. Additionally, contacting professors about course-related opportunities is advised, although it may not align with scholarship eligibility. Resources mentioned include the Anton Pannekoek Institute, Nikhef, and CWI for relevant research opportunities. Engaging with the Erasmus program for guidance and connecting with other students for shared experiences is also encouraged.

Hi everybody,
I need help. I am looking for and internship in Europe. I will be financially suported by erasmus.
I like Computational Physics, Astrophysics. Do you have something to reccommned me in Holland?
Any advice is helpful!
Thank you!

I think your best bet is to scour the web looking for internships or summer programs in those areas. I would also poke around the school departments asking profs, looking at bulletin boards etc.

One thing to be aware of is that students usually do this search starting in January as doing it now may be too late.

An alternative would be to look for courses in these areas and to then contact the profs asking about opportunities. Of course you could take the too but I guess the scholarship wouldn’t apply?

While PF is a great resource, I don’t think we’ll be able to help in this matter.

Does the Erasmus scholarship have anyone you can talk to? Someone familiar with what other students have done in the past? Is there a discussion site where students share their experiences?

Look at Anton Pannekoek Institute (astronomy/astrophysics), Nikhef (they have both computation and astroparticle research) and CWI (computational science, informatics, mathematics)

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
