Exceptional experience

It was an amazing experience since I could discover new culture, food, and people. Beside this the academic and professional experience gained from the internship is invaluable. I would say being friendly and ethical helped me gain trust and share the knowledge with my supervisor, which helped me a lot. Without forgetting the assistance of Absolute during my stay in almost everything, from information, tips and having someone to talk to! The best moments were the trips to Uppsala and Gothenburg.

Intern in Madrid

I really enjoyed my experience from minute 1 and I also loved how the enrolment side of things was fluid and free flowing. I applied early and the process was seemless. The social side was great as well as the placement and I would highly recommend the programme. The accommodation was great and located close by to the attractions of the city of Madrid so after working at my placement it wasn’t exhausting to go to places with the other interns on the program. All in all a great experience that I’d recommend

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t be put off by the costs as these are the same as if you were to organise these things yourself I.e., flights visas etc. also with absolute they have connections with great companies in their host cities making it easier to get the right placement for you
Pros
  • Develop personal skills
  • Transparency
  • Activities
Cons
  • Cost however payment plans and other funding is available

Absolute Paris!

Absolute Internship was an all round amazing experience from the easy application process, great internship placement opportunities and social aspect. The team was incredibly supporting when it came to the process, organising interviews and making sure we had all the information needed prior to the placement. Aurore and the team in Paris we’re integral in making my month unforgettable! They immediately made sure we felt safe and comfortable and organised amazing activities to get to know the group and make the most of the city. Aurore was fab in getting to know each of us well and suggest activities etc that would take our individual interests. My placement itself has helped me gain essential industry skills and extend my network with colleagues I continue to work alongside today!

Fantastic Experience

My summer in Paris with Absolute Internship was an ideal balance of structure and independence. The way the program was structured allowed me to have a fully immersive and formative experience in Paris - feeling like I was truly able to appreciate and settle into the culture - while being confident that I had a support system around me whenever I need it. The housing was pristine, and the ability to access different facets of Paris through Absolute's recommendations and formal programming was a positive addition. Absolute is a great opportunity to have an experience abroad that is both personally and professionally fulfilling.

Paris internship

I had such a great summer in Paris and met so many fun people. Our team leader Aurore helped organise so many fun activities for everyone and made sure that everyone was supported. I really feel like I got to know Paris during the short time I was there, and I loved every moment. The accommodation was super comfortable and good location, and I learned so many invaluable skills at my internship. It made such a difference adding this experience to my CV. If I’d have known how great it was going to be I would have definitely stayed longer.

Great summer experience in Paris

It was such a memorable summer. Everyone was so friendly, and there were constantly activities to get to know the other interns better. Aurore was so nice and supportive the whole time and she greeted us with a picnic on a boat! And it was very easy to get support all the time. There were tours around the city, dinners together, visits together etc. On top of that, I got to intern in a cool firm so I also got industry experience out of it and learned a lot. It was a great start to a wholly amazing experience :)

10/10 Paris Experience

I enjoyed every second of my time in Paris. The program was amazing and I was able to experience so many exciting things. I felt like I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted but it was also nice to have planned events with the program. I made long lasting friendships and got to experience so much of the beautiful city of Paris. Our housing situation was great, would have been nice to be a little closer to the city but there was a metro stop nearby so super easy. Had a super fun time and met really cool people.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Snails!
Pros
  • Freedom
  • Housing
  • Safety

Savanna Review

I studied in Paris in the summer of 2022. I was there for the marketing internship program. Aurore provided really great support and was so helpful in making sure we all knew how to navigate the city and that we were all having fun and enjoying our internships. The activities arranged through Absolute Internship were really well thought out and I appreciated that we got to see places outside of Paris. I felt like Aurore was very competent and I trusted her to do her job, but she also was very fun and spent time with us.

Amazing Experience with Aurore

Absolute Internship was amazing. The programme with Absolute was a fun and a good learning experience.

My team leader Aurore was brilliant, always there for me when I needed her and welcomed me in so many different ways. She was helpful, funny and it felt she was more of a friend than a coordinator.

An absolutely amazing experience, and one that I have made many memories from. Will be something that I never forget.

This internship was my first ever travel/experience to Europe and it was 10/10.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Would stay for longer :)
Pros
  • Build communication skills
  • Learn different cultures
  • Team work and Building C.V
Cons
  • Cost too high

Amazing experience

I had the pleasure of joining absolute internship in lisbon, portugal for a sales and marketing internship. I was matched with a fast growing tech company. The housing was good and the day trips were amazing. Moreover, the coordinators were very friendly and I will absolutely do it again if i had the chance. Portugal was also a vibrant place with many cultures. You will easily make friends with anyone.

Overall, Amazing experience, amazing day trips, and a very positive environment. Absolutely recommend to anyone.
