Seoul Internships with Beyond Academy

This internship experience was truly incredible! Even though it got off to a rocky start, the team and I managed to navigate it quickly and adjust. The internship itself allowed me to put practical skills I learned in college to use and my team pushed me to learn more! Aside from the internship, the community was incredible! I made so many friends and went to almost all of the community events to experience the culture and get to know the other interns. Overall, I am so glad that I chose to do Beyond Academy and it is truly an experience I will never forget!

Applying for this internship was a total leap of faith, but taking the risk to travel halfway across the world turned out to be worth every single cent. Choosing Korea ended up being the best decision I could have made.
Surrounding myself with so many different people from around the world was incredibly enriching. I fell in love with Korean culture even more than I expected—from quiet moments in traditional tea rooms to wearing hanboks around the city.
While the internship itself could be challenging at times, pushing through taught me to be bold, brave, and just give things a go. I gained practical tools and real-world experience that will directly shape my future. I feel so privileged and deeply grateful to the program for accepting me to work, learn, and experience life on the other side of the world. It’s an experience I will cherish forever, and I believe every student should try an international internship!

I honestly had a pretty solid time. It’s always been a dream of mine to do something this crazy like living and working abroad. My company was super nice and my work hours were super nice too. Most everyone was flexible with my needs and assisting me when needed. I was a research invest analyst so, they have work/positions for every major. So if an Interview doesn’t go as planned there will be more opportunities. The only downside was that I would finish my work sometimes too quickly and would not have anything to do but that’s not the case for most interns. Other interns that were here often had to work weekends. My company was super laid back and often treated me and my colleagues to lunch and dinner. As long as you make the effort to communicate with them even if you don’t speak Korean fluently they will see the effort and do the same for you.

I spent 8 weeks in Seoul with Beyond Academy and overall had a really positive experience. The programme was a great opportunity to gain professional experience in Korea while also developing my confidence working in an international environment. The company organised a range of activities and events for interns, which made it easy to meet other people on the programme and experience different parts of Seoul together. Both the Beyond Academy staff and other interns were very friendly and supportive.

The internship also gave me useful professional experience and helped me better understand working culture in Korea, as well as giving me something valuable to take forward in my future career. Although I had to leave my internship partway through due to personal circumstances, I chose to remain in Korea and Beyond Academy were very understanding and supportive of my situation, which I really appreciated.

I had an overall great experience with Beyond Academy in Seoul. The staff always offered amazing support regarding questions and was super friendly. You could always join activities with others and built friendships. The internship I did was also very trustworthy and I barley had any major problems, especially with regular check-in’s. I spent 5 months abroad and I felt very safe. A lot of information was always offered, as well as good preparation before coming and joining. I had the best time abroad!

I spend 6 weeks in Seoul during summer 2026. If you are considering this trip you will have a blast! You should do some research before you come so that you are adequately prepared for anything that might come your way. If you like to shop bring some extra luggage!I’m super glad to have the opportunity and the community in Seoul’s made sure I got the most of my 6 weeks there! I made so many friends. Any issues I had there were solved relatively quick and they even helped out with small things here and there.

Would definitely recommend this program for interns who also want to experience a foreign country! Beyond gives plenty of options for host countries, and the team is very helpful before and during the trip! Everyone I met while abroad were so nice as well as the other interns, I will never forget them!

Only downside is the price of the trip. Very expensive, but the program also includes two activities every week, but only some are paid for. The difference in accommodation locations were pretty big, and you don't get a say in where you stay. Some interns had to travel over an hour every day for work, but for me personally, I was put in a spot one stop away from my job on the subway, which was perfect.

Interning abroad for six weeks was a perfect amount of time to see everything that I wanted to. The Seoul team was very helpful in setting up our subway cards, and answering any questions we had. The range of activities set up for us were very big, some days we visited historical sites, others would be more modern. I feel like I got the full Seoul experience! Thank you Beyond!

Through Beyond Academy, I was able to land an amazing internship and explore Seoul for six weeks! Every step of the way Beyond Academy was there to help and guide me. From helping me prep for interviews or resolving issues with my accommodations, I am so glad that I took this opportunity! This was my first time traveling by myself ever, and I was very nervous about being alone in a new country! But the coordinators in Seoul were so helpful and kind! They made sure that my trip to Seoul went smoothly and that I got to my accommodations safely. Whenever I had a problem I knew I could reach out to them for help!

Exploring the city with the coordinators and other interns was definitely a highlight of my trip. Also, working in Seoul is such an amazing experience. I learned so much from just six weeks working as an intern that will help me during the rest of my career. If you are thinking about interning abroad, I would recommend Beyond Academy!
