Taking part in a research internship during your undergraduate degree can be very beneficial to your career prospects after graduation. Particularly if you intend to continue for a PhD.
Generally students apply to take part in research internships in their second year onwards, but some are successful in finding a placement even during their first year of study.
Here is a small selection of summer research programs I would recommend to any undergraduate physics student.
