Program Reviews

The program in London by Absolute Internship was excellent from start to finish, from enrollment to my last day in the program. The support from the Absolute team in London was always great, Thank you Carla, Giulia and all the rest of the team for an awesome summer for being there all the time!

I did an internship in a marketing firm which was exactly what I wanted to do. The best part of the program is the people you meet though, the program do a great job in selecting students from around the world and you bound really quickly with everyone and make friends. We had students from Morocco, Sweden, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and so many other places.

The best thing about the program is the exciting activities that are organized. There are planned events and activities every week that you can choose to attend. My weekend in Paris was a dream come through literally – always wanted to go there and it was so well-organized. The accommodation was so also extremely clean and well-located.

Thank you Carla and Absolute Internship for the best summer I’ve had!

I'm really glad that I signed up with Absolute for my internship in Hong Kong. My summer internship has been excellent. My internship was exactly what I was looking for and it helped me develop a greater understanding of the marketing industry and how it works.

The city is awesome for sightseeing, the food is great and the people in Hong Kong is very friendly. I have learned so much about myself by attending this program, met so many INCREDIBLE people through Absolute. This was the first time I ever visited Asia and I will definitely return. The Absolute staff is wonderful, very friendly and the program activities and trips are great.

I would not have changed this program for anything.

A life changing summer.

I spent two awesome months in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship. Overall, the experience I got on this program is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. I got to meet a lot of really amazing people from all around the world, we were like a big family interning during the days and traveling during the weekends exploring Hong Kong, Macau was an amazing experience. All the students are in the age same group and very friendly.

The accommodation is super clean and I couldn’t have asked for anything better, as it was top standard and in the city center. I loved the public transport in Hong Kong which is so convenient compared to the US – I had no problems at all to get around.
Hong Kong is such a clean, vibrant, safe, dynamic and beautiful city.

I could not have asked for more - I would definitely recommend this program!

Thank you for everything Aurelie, it would not have been nearly as awesome without you!

I would like to share that I’m incredibly thankful for my opportunity to have interned in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship. Aurelie from the Absolute team was so friendly, helpful and worked hard to make sure that I was matched with a great internship that matched my background and expectations. I also want to thank Thomas, Nicole for all their support this summer. You guys worked were so helpful to me, and the entire group and very supportive the entire summer.

I met so many amazing people through this program. Absolute Internship is such an amazing opportunity for you. I got to know so many different cultures; the community that Absolute has is terrific!

I highly, highly recommend Absolute Internship and the Hong Kong Program because of the great staff, awesome people you meet, the internship you’re guaranteed, clean housing and great events that the staff put together and organize!!

If you are looking for an experience where you will meet and network with people from all around the world, where you will grow so much and become independent and have a lovely and supportive team helping you – then Absolute Internship is definitely the right program for you. I interned in Hong Kong before moving to the US for my exchange semester.

I was recommended by my uni to intern abroad with Absolute Internship and after browsing all their reviews online I’m really happy with my choice. The Absolute team was very welcoming when I arrived in Hong Kong from picking me up at the airport to making sure I was settled and comfortable in the housing. They even made sure that I knew my way around to my internship. I was fortuned to intern with a fashion e-commerce website that was selling high-end brands. A dream come true for someone that loves fashion like myself!

What I’m going to miss the most about Hong Kong and the program? The people. The lovely Absolute team (thanks Aurélie & Co!! The food. My awesome colleagues and my awesome bosses.

I’d highly recommend Absolute Internship to anyone who wants to gain work experience abroad and makes friends from all around the world!

I have always wanted to go to Asia due to my interest in emerging markets, but I ended choosing Hong Kong - and I was really happy I did.

Hong Kong is a beautiful city, with great energy, amazing culture and interesting history. It's also a great place to start your career as it offers so many opportunities for young people like myself. I spent one month completing a marketing internship this summer and I really loved it. I'm incredibly pleased that I met so many cool and amazing people through the Absolute Internship Program.
The Absolute staff is also fantastic and extremely friendly.

I'm really happy that I chose Absolute Internship for my internship abroad. Absolute proved to be absolutely amazing not only when it comes to securing my internship but also when it comes to organizing our social life in Hong Kong - we had plenty of events to take part of each week. There was never a dull moment.
The whole Absolute team worked very hard to take care of us and truly contributed to making this summer unforgettable experience.

Thank you for an awesome summer!

My time in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. Both interning everyday and just living in this incredible city and experiencing so many different cultures by meeting all the other students everyday was so exciting. My best friend had participated in the London Program the year before me, and she had only great things to say about it, so I decided to fly somewhere closer (I’m an Aussie so I thought London was a bit far away) so I chose Hong Kong for two months.

From the day I arrived at Hong Kong International Airport, checked in at the accommodation, I felt completely comfortable. Our program staff was wonderful and made sure to help us with everything from showing us how to setup the 3G/4G on our mobile phones to showing us where to do our groceries. Very important when you just arrived!

My first day at my internship was very stressful understandably, but as soon as I arrived my company was very friendly and invited me for a lunch the first day! The food in Hong Kong is amazing. You can have delicious meals from $3. There was an amazing dim sum restaurant where we ate almost every week nearby where we lived.

Traveling from Australia to such a different country far away such as Hong Kong can be frightening, but living in the city together with around 80 other students in the same age, doing the same thing makes the experience so much more worthwhile and fun. This was definitely the best summer I’ve ever had and I would recommend to anyone from Australia or anywhere in the world that loves to travel to intern in Hong Kong!

I could not recommend Hong Kong more as a city to experience an international internship – I had never been to Asia before this program. The wonderful people that you meet through the Absolute program is life-changing. The fantastic Absolute staff that is extremely friendly and helpful. The guaranteed internship and the incredible program events and activities that are part of the summer.

I can’t thank Aurélie, Nicole, Thomas and the rest of the Absolute Team enough. It goes without saying that the Absolute staff is there for literally anything that you need from matching you with a great internship, speaking to worried parents (mine!) to showing you the best shopping areas in the city to recommending the best restaurants in Hong Kong!

I highly recommend Absolute!

I don't think that people realize how much of an impact a summer abroad in an unfamiliar Asian city like Hong Kong can have on a young female student who wants to jump start her career (especially myself coming from Australia). Choosing to do my internship with Absolute Internship was one of the best decisions I have made in my life so far. Thanks to Absolute Internship, I was able to live in one of the most exciting cities in the world and meet interesting and ambitious people from so many countries. Who knew I was going to spend my summer with a group of people from Denmark, Finland, US, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, India, UK and Ireland?

From the beginning until the end of the program, Absolute Internship was very well-organized and structured, making me feel reassured about the program, process and internship that I was to be allocated. Before the program, I had never been to Asia and I chose Hong Kong as I was a bit afraid of the language barrier in the other destinations that Absolute offers, since everyone speaks English in Hong Kong.

I received prompt information about when to arrive in the city and was picked up by one of the amazing and friendly program staff Nicole. I also met up with the other program students who had flown in from the US, Europe and other parts of Australia the same day. From the airport, we were escorted to the accommodation with a bus. All the other students were really friendly.

I’m from Sydney in Australia, which is a very safe place in general. Hong Kong is so different to Australia. Fast-paced. Busy and so many people everywhere. Hong Kong is such a safe place, especially for a young woman like myself I felt incredibly safe in the night and during the day as well. All the tall buildings made me feel so inspired to be in this city.

So what makes this experience and program unique? The people you meet. The wonderful and amazing program staff (that I honestly think do not sleep, they work 24/7!!!) Great internship. Awesome career speaker events. I really feel that after this summer I have grown so much, personally, professionally and I have met so many incredible people from all around the world. I never felt alone. Never. The program staff Nicole, Thomas and Aurélie made me feel extremely welcomed and part of the group. They did a fantastic job. Always going beyond duty to help myself and the rest of the students.

My best advice to you? Step out of your comfort zone. Apply now and don’t look back. You’ll never regret it - trust me.
Absolute Internship is an amazing program and you’re surrounded with amazing people and awesome staff. I highly recommend this program.

It would definitely be an understatement to say that Absolute Internship changed my life. The level of growth I experienced was exceptional; the level of people that I forged friendships and relations with totally unforgettable. I only smile when I look back to my time in Hong Kong.

I did my internship in Hong Kong at an online marketing agency. The company I was working for were really kind and went above and beyond to ensure that I was welcomed and integrated into the team as well as the local culture. I met a massive amount of influential business people through networking events that I had the chance to meet, forged great relationships with my colleagues which have tremendously changed my life coming from a small town. Traveling overseas now and I’m proud to say that I can FaceTime with friends from France, Morocco, Sweden, Denmark, India, New Zealand, Austria, Spain, Italy and the US – it’s amazing. Absolute is the perfect platform for university students to meet other people.
I would like to also underscore that the Absolute staff is incredible. I was tremendously impressed by the work ethic of Nicole, Thomas as well as the Director Aurelie who definitely walked the extra miles every single week for us. From showing us to the best local restaurants where we could eat for literally $2 per person to introducing us to their broad and impressive network of important business contacts was extremely helpful and generous as it helped me and the other interns to expand their global networks.

The program events that are part of the program were one of my favourite parts. It gave me a deep insight of the culture, but also introduced me to this fast-paced and unique city by visiting the most selective sights and meet with influential business leaders from well-known firms such as Citibank, Bloomberg, IKEA and H&M, which I really appreciated. I felt so inspired during this summer and this program really made me think BIG, helped me realize that I can achieve whatever I set my mind and heart to. Absolute made this summer the best summer of my life. If you are a student and want to make friends from all around the world while experiencing an amazing city and finding inspiration – you should do this program!
