Absolute Internship Reviews

I was very nervous to travel abroad alone, but the team at Absolute Internship supported and encouraged me through every doubt. I met my best friends, explored one of my new favorite cities, and learned so much about my desired career field. I am more confident in myself as a person and as a student entering my last year of college. I always had someone to turn to from the Absolute team when I needed something and by the end, I was so comfortable and had more confidence navigating a foreign city.

I always had someone to turn to from the Absolute team when I needed something and I eventually felt so comfortable and at home in a city I've never been to before!!

This trip has truly been life changing. I met some of the most amazing people through this program, and I couldn't have asked for a better internship placement. I was placed in Seoul's financial district, which was an incredible location, and my housing at Western Co-op in Dongdaemun ended up being the perfect area to live. Everything was so convenient, and it made exploring the city so easy.

Seoul has so much to offer. The culture, the food, the incredible sights, and all of the unforgettable experiences have made this one of the best times of my life. Leaving is going to be so difficult.

If you're thinking about doing this program, book the trip and don't look back. It's an experience you'll never regret.

I'm even in the process of working toward a return offer with the company I interned for, which is something I was hoping for!! I'm so grateful for everything this experience has led to.

Some of my favorite memories include getting front row at Waterbomb with my amazing roommate, hiking Bukhansan, the highest peak in Seoul, getting on stage at a small rave festival in Gyeongju and having a dance battle with locals, taking a trip to Jeju with 14 friends from the program and staying together in an Airbnb, celebrating the Fourth of July on Haeundae Beach in Busan, and making countless memories exploring Seoul's incredible nightlife.

This program gave me amazing friends, unforgettable experiences, and opportunities that have genuinely changed the direction of my life. I'm going to miss Seoul more than I can put into words, and I already can't wait to come back. Thank you, Absolute Internship, for giving me an experience I'll never forget.

I have had an incredible experience in Barcelona, and much of that comes from the comfort Absolute Internship provided. Their Orientations gave me a clear idea of workplace customs and helped me better prepare for the internship with that knowledge in mind. The Program Coordinators were kind, and I grew comfortable with them to ask for advice and recommendations; I know that I could go to them whenever I have an issue or concern. The activities they set out for us allowed me to meet people who I soon became close friends with, and they reached out to make sure that I was comfortable throughout my time there!

Absolute Internship was such a great experience, I cannot recommend it enough! I spent 4 weeks in Stockholm, Sweden in June 2026 and wish I had stayed longer! The programme was so well organised with orientation, making me feel really comfortable in the country before I started work. They sorted everything from accommodation to metro cards and the programme coordinators were available 24/7 over text whenever you had a question. My internship was really well suited to me and I learnt so much. I loved my time in Sweden so much and I wish I could go back!

My experience with Absolute Internship in Barcelona gave me a strong balance of professional experience and independence. I interned at Atlex, where I worked on immigration law-related tasks such as client communication, visa documents, translations, case organization, and support letters.

The work was meaningful because it connected to real client matters, but it was also balanced with enough time to experience Barcelona and adjust to living abroad. I felt like I was gaining practical legal experience while also learning how to navigate a new city, workplace, and culture.

The Atlex team was welcoming and willing to teach me, which helped me become more confident in a professional setting. Before this internship, I was unsure whether law was the right path for me. After working in immigration law, I can now see it as a career option I would genuinely enjoy. Overall, the experience gave me more direction, confidence, and a better understanding of what legal work can look like in practice.

My time on Absolute has been truly transformative! From meeting peers from multiple cultures and backgrounds, to immersing myself into the Spanish culture and work-life balance, I couldn't recommend the opportunity to other young people any more! My placement company also perfectly aligned with my aspirations, and allowed me to develop a new international skill set around communication, responsibility, and independence; particularly working a hybrid role (and trying so many amazing coworking cafes across the city!). The ongoing support from staff also really ensured we all felt settled in and ready, both before and during our time here (shoutout to Claudia and Gio!). Barcelona is an amazing city, and my time with Absolute was incredibly rewarding.

Taking part in an overseas internship in Barcelona was completely out of my comfort zone, but in the best way possible. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my degree and gave me so much more than just professional experience. My placement at Bach Legal was the highlight. The office environment was welcoming and much less formal than I expected, which made it easy to ask questions and learn. I gained practical legal skills while also building confidence in taking on new challenges and asking for help when needed. Absolute Internship made the whole process straightforward. From pre-departure check-ins to ongoing support throughout the program, I always felt looked after. They organised accommodation, provided a clear schedule of activities, and kept everyone updated, making the transition to living overseas much less stressful. I also enjoyed meeting people from around the world through the program. Outside of work, I loved immersing myself in a new culture. One moment I'll never forget was seeing the inside of the Sagrada Família during a guided tour—it was absolutely breathtaking. This experience made me more independent, adaptable and confident, and showed me how many opportunities can come from stepping outside your comfort zone. If you're considering applying but feel nervous, I'd say go for it. You'll have support every step of the way, and you'll learn so much about yourself in the process.

Stockholm is a beautiful place to spend the summer, and I've experienced a multitude of personal and professional development, both in and out of the workplace. I've been able to hone in on what I really want to pursue as a career, grow those skills, and meet the most amazing people while I'm at it! The program coordinators were so wonderful and supportive throughout the entire journey, my boss was incredibly welcoming, and the other students in the program created some of the strongest friendships I've ever experienced.

I joined Absolute Internship in the summer of 2025 for a 4-week internship in Madrid, Spain, and by the time the program ended, my only regret was not signing up for the full 8 weeks!
My experience in Madrid was truly unforgettable and helped me grow both professionally and personally. Through my internship, I gained valuable hands-on experience while also building meaningful friendships with students from all over the world. Living abroad allowed me to expand my international network, immerse myself in Spanish culture, and significantly improve my Spanish language skills.
One of the things that stood out the most was the incredible support provided by the Absolute Internship team. From the onboarding process to the on-site assistance throughout the program, everything was well organized. The Program Coordinators made every student feel welcome from day one and fostered a genuine sense of community through social events, cultural activities, and weekend trips that made the experience even more memorable.

I highly recommend Absolute Internship to anyone looking for an international experience that combines professional development, cultural immersion, and lifelong friendships. If you're eager to strengthen your resume, gain global work experience, and become part of an amazing international community, this program is absolutely worth it!
