The Visiting Students Program, offered by the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, is an intensive 6 months research experience which consists in a cultural immersion for talented master students.
Applicants have the opportunity to participate in state-of-the-art research projects, interact with prominent research teams, and be mentored by leading faculty and researchers at CMU. This Program builds up on the success of the Undergraduate Internship Program initiated in 2014 that counted with the participation of 39 students.
CMU Portugal will award the selected candidates with a scholarship that will provide a monthly stipend during the 6 months of their stay at CMU.
The main goal of the Visiting Students Program is to provide high-quality research opportunities, offering master students the possibility of developing their knowledge and skills as researchers, while opening perspectives for career opportunities in cutting-edge fields of Information and Communication Technologies.
