London Internships with Beyond Academy

I highly recommend Beyond if you’re looking not only to gain work experience in your field of study but also to experience a new city! During my two-month internship in London, I gained significant insights into my career path, met many wonderful people, and was really able to immerse myself in the London experience . I emerged from the experience much more confident and independent, with memories that will definitely last a lifetime.

Beyond is great at organising events and is extremely helpful when you reach out to the team with any concerns or queries.

However, keep in mind that most of the internships are unpaid, so budget accordingly. Additionally, I suggest finding accommodation close to your internship, especially in a larger city, as commuting can be time-consuming.

I had the pleasure of interning with Beyond Academy, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The program in London provided an incredible opportunity to meet so many people from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences. The team at Beyond Academy ensured that my time was not only enjoyable but also professionally enriching. I had the chance to engage in meaningful projects and activities, making it an overall good experience. I highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone seeking a valuable and memorable internship experience.

Beyond Academy is an excellent organization for gaining experience in your field of study while exploring new parts of the world. During my two-month stay in London, I grew more independent, gained clarity about my future career path, and where I can see myself living. I made valuable connections and discovered many exciting places, including Cambridge, the shopping streets, vibrant markets, delicious bakeries, and world-class theaters and museums. I loved my time in London, and Beyond Academy made it easy to settle into a new home for the summer.

Living in London for two months was an absolutely incredible experience! From meeting people from all over the globe to experiencing the city’s history, I learned so much and explored so many amazing places. There was always something to do! For anyone who will be in London for the first time, I have two words for you: afternoon tea. Do it. Multiple times. It is divine.
As far as my internship goes, I was living in Greenwich and working in Battersea. Opposite sides of London, but one thing you’ll learn quickly in London is that every trip, no matter what, will be at least an hour long. But I loved it. I got to read a ton during the commute, I was walking at least 3 miles every day, and I met up with so many people from all over the world for dinner and other events. Some I met through Beyond Academy, others I met while working or going to places and talking to random people I thought were interesting — a strategy I highly recommend. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I am so grateful for the two months I had in London.

I had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed the Beyond Academy activities. My favourite was definitely going to Cambridge, kind of wish there were more out of London trips too. Also really enjoyed the pub quiz activity and game night. The community coordinators were extremely fun and very nice and supportive. However I do wish there were more career building/advice activities or lessons. For example maybe meeting with industry professionals or one on one coaching with an industry professional.

My time abroad was a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone forced me to confront challenges and adapt to unfamiliar environments, fostering resilience and self-reliance. Whether it was navigating public transportation in a bustling city, each obstacle became an opportunity for growth. To future interns, embrace uncertainty and be open to new experiences and perspectives. Flexibility is key when navigating unfamiliar environments, and being adaptable will help you overcome challenges and make the most of unexpected opportunities.

This program was an unforgettable experience filled with professional growth and lifelong memories. From working in a dynamic environment to exploring iconic landmarks, every moment was enriching. Despite the challenges of navigating a new city, the rewards of interning in London outweighed any drawbacks.

Looking back on my time interning abroad in London, I can boldly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This program did not only enhance my skills but it also gave me memories to cherish for a lifetime.

The program was a remarkable journey that significantly contributed to my professional growth and skill development. I did my internship at a charity for 6 months. This internship has undeniably played a pivotal role in my professional and personal development. The experience throughout the program has been wonderful. Not just the help received with the internship but also the community events organised. It allowed me to make new friends and network with other interns. I sincerely thank the Beyond Academy team for offering such a rewarding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking a comprehensive and enriching internship experience.
