My Absolute Experience

Absolute was present not only in finding us an internship, but they also made sure we had activities planned for the weekends, including visiting other cities and different places in London. Overall would recommend it for anyone who wants to not only gain professional experience but also for someone who wants to learn about different cultures and different countries.

I got to meet people from different places and formed friendships with them. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend it.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would plan a bit better for my weekends, so I could take trips to other places in the UK like Scotland.

Highly recommend

Easy, quick placement process. Absolute Internship team is extremely helpful and kind. Thorough communication during the entire internship timeline.

My remote internship taught me valuable research and marketing skills in my field. I learned a lot about their country and how my industry works in their cultures from the comfort of my home office. They were flexible with my work schedule and very organized.

Plus it counted toward my university's international experience and internship graduation requirements.

4 Weeks

My time in London was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this was going to be a journey I’d remember for years to come. There’s something about the energy of the city — the fast pace, the rich history, the mix of cultures — that immediately draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Every day brought a new experience, a new perspective, and a new opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and professionally. London has a way of pushing you out of your comfort zone in the best way possible. Whether it was navigating the Underground, trying unfamiliar foods, or simply adjusting to a different lifestyle, I found myself constantly adapting and embracing the unknown. It was exciting, sometimes challenging, but always rewarding. I gained so much just from being immersed in such a dynamic, global environment.

I fell in Love

I fell in love with London thanks to Absolute Internships. Not only did my placement manager, Tilly, find the perfect internship for me, but my onsite coordinators, Emma and Courtney, provided me with all the resources and support to take on London with peace of mind. Sure, I could have found an internship, housing, and figured out the visa process all by myself, but I would have been far too stressed, and the experience would have been tainted. Absolute ensures you get the most out of your time by helping you navigate your transition and the city, which is invaluable. Needless to say, I will be singing this company's praises for years to come!

4-Week Experience

Absolute internship was a great experience. There were initial stresses with the internship aspect since I didn't get placed until the day I arrived in Tokyo, but I ended up meeting some incredible people and learning lots of new skills at work. Additionally, the staff at Absolute who were with us (program coordinators) in Tokyo were such lovely people. They were able to be reached very quickly and were very organized during planned trips with all the students. Furthermore, their friendly demeanor eased the nerves of going to a foreign country! The most memorable moments were the unplanned, spontaneous trips and memories made outside of work with other students. The group I came in with are some of my favorite people, and I still am in contact with them today! Highly recommend!

Hana's review

I had an international marketing internship in Barcelona over the spring term and was placed with a start up entrepreneur networking community for my time there. My role involved managing social media, and helping to organize company events. I learned how to quickly navigate a completely different type of work environment and communicate in ways that were a bit out of my comfort zone. I think I adapted really well to the Spanish work/living style and felt like I fit in pretty well after about 2 weeks of being there. Because my company was international, we communicated in English which meant that I wasn't able to practice my Spanish as much as I had hoped. The thing about the program that I didn't enjoy was the living situation. Because it was individual dorms where we weren't allowed guests and freedom it felt very isolating and made me feel depressed.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would do everything I could to live in an apartment so that I could genuinely feel like I had a routine and a life there.

Amazing, Once in a Lifetime Experience

My experience with the company was incredibly positive from start to finish. One of the aspects I appreciated most was how helpful and supportive they were in securing a direct internship placement that closely aligned with both my career goals and my area of academic study. From the very beginning, it was clear that they took the time to understand my interests, strengths, and aspirations, and used that information to connect me with an internship that would offer meaningful professional growth. This personalized approach made me feel confident that I wasn’t just being placed anywhere, but rather somewhere that would truly help me grow and succeed.

The process of moving to a new country can often be overwhelming, especially when it involves adapting to an unfamiliar culture, navigating new systems, and managing logistics like housing, transportation, and communication. However, the company went above and beyond to make that transition as smooth and easy as possible. They provided clear, step-by-step guidance well in advance of my departure, which helped me feel fully prepared and at ease. Whether it was assistance with visa paperwork, setting expectations for workplace culture, or offering packing checklists and arrival instructions, every detail was thoughtfully considered.

Once I arrived, the support continued. I was welcomed into a professional environment that was both challenging and rewarding. My internship allowed me to apply what I had learned in school in real-world scenarios, giving me a deeper understanding of my field. I worked alongside experienced professionals who were generous with their time and knowledge, and who made me feel like a valued member of the team. The projects I was involved in were engaging and relevant, and I was encouraged to contribute my ideas and take initiative. This not only improved my technical skills, but also boosted my confidence and ability to collaborate effectively in a professional setting.

Equally impactful was the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture. Living and working in a different country broadened my perspective in so many ways. I learned to appreciate different customs, traditions, and ways of thinking. I became more adaptable, open-minded, and aware of global issues. The cultural experiences—both in and out of the workplace—helped me grow personally as much as I did professionally. Whether it was trying new foods, learning a new language, or simply navigating daily life in a new setting, every experience contributed to my overall development.

Looking back, I can say with complete confidence that this was one of the most enriching and transformative experiences I’ve ever had. The combination of professional development, cultural immersion, and personal growth has had a lasting impact on me. I am incredibly grateful to the company for facilitating such an opportunity and for their continuous support throughout the journey. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to expand their horizons, gain international experience, and take meaningful steps toward achieving their career goals.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
One thing I would change is choosing a longer program! I would have loved to stay longer and be able to explore more while learning more in my internship.

An Unforgettable Journey Made Possible by Absolute Internship

My internship in Seoul was an incredible, life-changing experience that helped me rediscover my passions and build confidence. Absolute Internship made every step of the journey smooth, comfortable, and stress-free; their supportive team was there for me from start to finish. Thanks to their guidance and care, I had the best time of my life and left Korea with lasting memories, new friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose. This opportunity opened new doors by exposing me to a different culture and work lifestyle. Experiencing Korea firsthand was eye-opening, inspiring and broadening my perspective.

This internship helped me grow professionally and gave me real insight into how branding works in the media industry. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to gain practical experience in a dynamic and inspiring workplace.
