Program Reviews

I came to HK expecting an average experience and program. My time was just awesome. The staff is one of the most friendliest people I've ever met. They showed us how to get around with the subway, tramway and the bus. They also showed us where to eat, where to do shopping and how to get to work.

I loved our weekend in Macau which definitely was a highlight of the program. I also loved all the other events that were organized by the program. HK was just an awesome experience that I always will cherish.

I completed a HR Internship in a head hunting firm in Hong Kong. I was very warmly welcomed at the firm, there were staff that were both local and some were from the UK and some other colleagues were from France. I had a British supervisor who was very helpful, inspirational and supportive. I learned a lot from my internship.

Besides the internship, I really enjoyed my time in Hong Kong with Absolute. The organization was very helpful in terms of setting me up with a visa, arranging fun and exciting events, arranged great accommodation and provided excellent support. The Absolute staff was always there for us and were extremely resourceful.

Highly recommended!

I'll never forget my summer in HK. Before joining the program I had never visited Asia. This was the very first time that I ever took a plan alone and traveled so far away from my family and friends so I was of course really nervous about this program.

Absolute Internship made the process very organized, comforting and structured for me. I ended up doing a Marketing Internship in HK for 1 Month with a startup. I loved my time at the internship but also the program was awesome. The weekend activities that Absolute Internship put together were well-organized, fun and exciting. I also found the other participants to be great, I made lots of friends as there are students from all around the world in the program.

I would really recommend Absolute Internship to any student who is looking into stepping out of their comfort zone. Don't hesitate or think twice. The summer in Hong Kong changed my life.

I did a Fashion Internship in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship and I loved it!!
I completely agree with everything that all the other positive alumni have written about this wonderful organization. They work so so tremendously hard to make sure that us interns have a great summer. We even had one of the Directors of the organization come and visit us one weekend.

I would recommend Absolute Internship in a heartbeat and the Hong Kong program to anybody who is looking into doing an internship abroad. I would even love to return to Hong Kong, it's such an amazing city. The city's food, nightlife, shopping is just top class. Nothing that I've ever experienced in my life before.

Absolute Internship made my experience unforgettable. The planned events that we did, excursions and trips, career talks and the wonderful people that I met - I would have never had met them with without this amazing program. Thanks guys for the absolute best summer ever!

Absolute made my summer in Hong Kong amazing. I made friends from all around the world and built connections with business people that I'd never thought I would meet. I can only say THANK YOU to Absolute for such a great summer.

I did a Marketing Internship with a Fashion E-Commerce company that had an awesome office with a view over the harbour. It was so amazing especially for someone who is brought up in a small town.

What made this program amazing? The people that you meet and the organization behind it. Absolute really walks the extra mile and cared for me. I'm incredibly thankful.

I completed the Hong Kong program with Absolute internship last year and it was a great experience. The staff is exceptional! Before starting the program they would respond within 24 hours if I had a query. They helped me organize my visa and provided cleat pre departure instructions and information. They provided us with constant 24 hour support while we were in Hong Kong. They also organized amazing activities and a great weekend in Macau!
The dedication of the staff and the quality of my internship definitely contributed to making it one the best experiences in my life.

I had the best time ever abroad with absolute internship. I was considering between studying abroad and an internship abroad and ended up doing an internship abroad.

Absolute was on top of everything (thanks so much Aurelie for all your lovely emails and help!!!) and really ensured that I was well-prepared as I'd never been to Asia in my life.

Hong Kong is an AMAZING city. I did a marketing internship with a tech company which was awesome. I'd highly recommend this program to anybody who wants to meet great people, be well taken care of, have fun and make great connections. The program events and trips organize are well planned and I loved the Lantau Island trip!!

I would really recommend this program to anybody who is looking into coming to Asia. Absolute rocks!!!

I joined the program in 2014 and interned in Fashion. This was definitely one of the best decision I've ever made. I met amazing people and I am extremely thankful to the support team in London and the service that was provided.

My internship was a great learning experience and my supervisor is and will be a mentor to me for quite some time.

During my time there Absolute organized so many activities: a day trip to Oxford, a weekend in Brussels, an evening at London Eye, movie nights, group dinners, museum visits... There is so much you can do in a month!

I would definitely recommend the program and would go again if I was offered to!

I did the Absolute Internship Program in January. I must say that Absolute Internship is the most unprofessional/unorganized company ever. No, it's not a scam, but you do pay quite a lot of money for the poor quality of service. They promised many things but did not deliver. Where to start?

First, they nearly didn't get my working visa to me. and they even dared to say I can not participate in the program even after i paid them $4000. They have some contract thing saying that they wouldn't give back your money if end up not doing the internship for some reason. The person we liaised with for visa was quite rude.

On arrival day, A.I. promised to pick us up from the airport and take us back to our hotels if we arrive between 9am - 2.30pm. I got picked up, but one other intern who did arrive in the set time was told to make her own way to the hotel, simply because they were too lazy. The next day, we were supposed to have an orientation/information session with free breakfast! but that same guy told us it's cancelled. and even told us not to tell his superiors.

Luckily the program coordinator was a top bloke - a local hong kong student whom they hired to take us around hk for activities. However, some of the promised activities in the brochures just didn't happen. This sucked because it was one of the main reason why I signed up for this program. However, I still had an awesome time in Hong Kong.

The company they set me up with was cool. I gained lots of career insights from them. They even complained how unorganised Absolute Internship was - because they have sent interns to them in the past. Thanks to my internship company and Hong Kong being an amazing country; I had a great 1 month and nearly forgave Absolute Internship's poor performance. I highly don't recommend Absolute Internship - they are just a money-hungry company. I suggest finding your own overseas internship online.

I joined Absolute Internship in Shanghai during the summer 2014 and I had a great time.
I chose Business Development as my industry and was placed at a medium size tech company where I mainly worked on marketing campaigns and research for the development a new product into the market.
Absolute covered every organizational aspects of the program from airport pick up to getting is a sim card, travel card, dinners, weekend trips, acrobatic shows...
We also had two coordinators that were living with us and were helping us with pretty much everything.

I definitely recommend the program to anyone ready to add a professional experience to their degree.
