Beyond Academy has provided me with a great internship experience. At my host company, I created digital elements that are going to be published in an app. I learned so much about the company and what its like to work in Japan. You will definitely contribute to meaningful work which will give a great boost to your professional resume. The weekly events were also great and allowed me to make so many friends and explore Tokyo outside of just work. The coordinators were also so kind and supportive of us. Overall I would genuinely recommend this experience!

I completed an internship with Beyond Academy this month in Tokyo. I was there for 6 weeks. While my host company maybe wasn’t the best fit for me, I am grateful for the overall experience, and the community team in Tokyo did everything they could to make the experience good for everyone. The only thing I will say is that you will not be guaranteed accommodation with other Beyond Academy interns - so it might be harder to make friends with other members if you’re not in the same accommodation/close together. Overall, I had a good experience, and can’t fault the community team.

Beyond Academy was the best decision I made post-graduation. Japan has always been a place I wanted to visit (as my grandad used to work there) and now having worked, lived and travelled around Japan, it has become a pinnacle moment of my youth and is helping me navigate my future goals. The support from friends and community coordinators made it that much more enjoyable and easy, everyone was there to welcome and support one another. Take that nervous next step, because I promise you it will be worth it, fortune always favours the brave.

Had lots of fun meet loads of good people it’s very legit and I have over 1000 photos from my 3 month internship.

100% guarantee if you’re bored of your everyday life try something a little different like this you’ll love it

I would say if your doing tech make sure you research your company so you have no issues I was very lucky that my internship was perfect for me

Overall though this internship was perfect for me as it’s given me some adaptive experience plus great memories so I would definitely recommend this to anyone student looking for something different

This summer I had the opportunity to complete a two-month internship in IT in Tokyo with Beyond Academy, and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, the program felt well-structured and supportive. What I really appreciated was the guidance provided before even starting the placement process. Beyond Academy offered helpful coaching sessions and practical advice before the interviews, which gave me the confidence to perform well and secure a placement that matched my interests. Having that preparation in advance made the whole process feel less intimidating and helped me focus on making the most out of the experience once I arrived in Japan.

I’ve always dreamed of going to Japan, and Beyond Academy made that a reality in the most incredible way. Their program strikes the perfect balance between meaningful work experience, personal growth, and unforgettable cultural immersion. From professional development and tailored support to weekend adventures, language practice, and local exploration, you’re constantly stepping outside your comfort zone while still feeling right at home. Beyond Academy truly delivers a life-changing journey. I would recommend it to friends and anyone who's interested in visiting Japan specifically.

I would definitely recommend spending summer break in Tokyo, it’s a very beautiful and clean city with amazing culture! The company I worked for was also very friendly and I was able to learn a lot throughout the internship period. Tokyo is a good place for working in the fashion industry as you can see a lot of people who love fashion on the streets. Beyond Academy helped a lot to get settled in and there were lots of social & cultural events every week! A lot of people here are beginners in learning Japanese but it would be nice to know some basic conversation to make things easier

Fantastic support. The guides here are really understanding and there for you. If I ever had to worry about something, they were there, but to be honest, they made it so I had no worries.

The events were nice and thoughtful. The people were super nice to hang out with and felt like family. I had no issues socially with the other members or community guides. The guides were especially super respectful of us and interactive throughout the trip. Especially Olivia, who was like super duper cool. She is memorable.
