London Internships with Beyond Academy

I spent 2 months living in London completing an internship in London for Business/Marketing, and I had the most amazing time! I had never really travelled much before with my family or anything growing up, but in 2025 I went to Europe for 3 weeks fresh out of high school with just my best friend. We started and ended the trip in London, and I knew straight away that London is a definitely a place I want to experience living in one day. I was super lucky I had such an amazing flatmate who I became super close with, and I also made another close friend at a lunch I went to on my 2nd day in London to meet some of the other interns. We all ended up hanging out together in London heaps, I went to Barcelona with one of them which was so much fun! I also got to see some friends from home (Melbourne, Australia) while I was in London which was amazing too. Towards the end of my time there, I even went to Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest with some friends from home which was incredible!! I stayed in Sheffield with my flatmate at her uni for my last weekend before going back to Australia, and got to go to Manchester with her too! Everyone at my internship was always super lovely and helpful throughout my time there, and I really learnt a lot which was amazing. Overall, I had an amazing time, and feel so much more independent and confident having to figure things out and adapt on my own. I'm really glad I did it, I had the best time and it really showed me I'm truly capable of anything I put my mind to!

I have had such an amazing journey with beyond academy. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, my placement program could not have gone better, and overall I had the best two months of my life. If I had to complain it would be about some aspects of my accomodations, which were not through beyond academy. They helped me find a place and booked it for me, but were not the owners of the building and thus were also confused by some of the occurrences that happened there. Beyond academy helped me to resolve those issues and even brought bedding when the accomodations forgot to provide any. This team is very good at what they do.

I came to Beyond Academy at the start of the second semester of my third year of college, and they efficiently partnered me up with the perfect internship that taught me so much more than I could have imagined. For students looking to pursue an internship abroad or who are looking for assistance, Beyond is a fine program that delivers and clearly cares about its students/interns. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity that Beyond gave me, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in this line of experience.

My internship experience with Beyond Academy was incredibly valuable, both professionally and personally. From the beginning, the program was well-structured and supportive, making the transition into a new work environment feel smooth and exciting rather than overwhelming.

One of the standout aspects of Beyond Academy is the level of guidance and mentorship provided. The team consistently checked in, offered advice, and created a strong sense of community among interns. This made a huge difference, especially being in a new city and navigating a new industry. Their workshops and career coaching sessions were particularly helpful in building confidence, refining my professional skills, and thinking more intentionally about my career path.

Through my placement, I was able to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, creative environment. I developed practical skills, learned how to collaborate effectively within a team, and gained insight into the realities of working in my field. The exposure to real projects and responsibilities helped me grow quickly and feel more prepared for future opportunities.

Beyond the professional side, the cultural and social aspects of the program were just as rewarding. Meeting other interns from around the world, exploring the city together, and sharing experiences made the internship even more memorable.

Overall, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone looking to gain meaningful work experience while also growing personally. It’s a great balance of professional development, support, and adventure, and it has definitely been a defining experience in my journey so far.

I had the best time this summer with Beyond! Through every step of the process, to first applying to Beyond, to landing in London, they were always there and quick to offer advice and assurances. Paying for them to sort accommodation for me was such a game-changer; I really think it was essential to my enjoyment of the internship. I didn't have to worry about it at all. I just showed up where they pointed me. The London team themselves were the loveliest people! They were so kind and eager to help, and a good laugh as well on the various trips and events Beyond planned while I was there (many of them included in the package!).

I really enjoyed my internship. I did marketing at a theatre in Islington, and I learned so much! I became a total pro at using software like Canva, and I got to work with some really exciting industry professionals! I'm already in talks for a graduate job directly due to the experience I gained here!

Overall, I highly recommend using Beyond if you want to do an internship in a different country. It completely removes all the stress surrounding the internship and gives you a group of people you can immediately befriend and hang out with. The events they planned were also essential for helping me explore more of the city and try places I would have never have found on my own!

Beyond Academy was such an insane experience. Insane in the sense that it feels like thr program is too good to be true. The application and placement process was long but at no point did I feel alone. Beyond Academy staff supported me the entire way and the support didn't fade when I got to my placement. The community team was always there to give advice for living in the city and always lent a lending ear when I was struggling. This was hands down a 10 out of 10 experience. Would DEFINITELY reccomend!

I recently completed a social media marketing internship at a furniture e-commerce company in London, and I can confidently say it was one of the most valuable experiences of my professional journey so far.

From day one, the team was incredibly welcoming and supportive. They not only guided us through our tasks but also went the extra mile to ensure we felt part of the company culture. Weekly integration activities were a highlight, allowing us to connect with other interns, build professional relationships, and create genuine friendships.

The work itself was both challenging and rewarding. I gained hands-on experience managing social media campaigns, creating engaging content, and analyzing performance metrics—all of which have significantly strengthened my skills and boosted my confidence. This experience has already opened new doors for me in the job market, making me feel much more prepared and competitive for future roles in digital marketing.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with my time at the company. The combination of professional development, networking opportunities, and a truly supportive team environment made this internship exceptional. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to gain real-world experience, especially in the fast-paced and creative world of social media marketing.

I did a fashion internship in London! I did a 10 week program and loved it! The activities were fun and it was so nice to already kind of have a group of people to get to know and do stuff with there! I wish there was more information given about transportation off the bat but any questions I had were answered and there were multiple people to ask! You don’t have to go to all of the events and though you payed for the program, some events aren’t covered which is a bummer. Overall it was still so fun and such a great experience!
