Training and further education

It is possible for young scientists to carry out their university thesis work in the natural sciences at one of the large research facilities at PSI, where supervision is available at Bachelor's, Master's, Diploma and Doctoral levels.

Any institute aiming to undertake top-level research needs staff with high intelligence – and not just where the actual research questions are concerned. It can only function adequately with top-class technical staff.

School classes can carry out their own experiments for a whole day at the iLab laboratory, where the experiments are based on exactly the same principles as those at the large PSI facilities.

PSI provides supervision for practical high-school matriculation projects. Interested students must submit a plan of work, which will then compete with other submitted applications.

The PSI Education Centre offers training and further education in radiation protection and a broad range of so calle transferable skills. Additional relevant training programs for PSI staff and other interested parties will be included in the course catalogue regularly.
