Program Reviews

Most of my classmates did their internship here in France, but I don't like to do like everyone, so yeah, I decided to go to China!! Doing an internship for the university was a real opportunity because I could apply for a scholarship that was a great help.
I went to Beijing, which is one of the biggest cities in the world! Since I was there, I visited a few places in the city and around, there are so many things to see. The Great Wall is... overwhelming! I went there early in the morning to avoid all the tourists. There were still some people but it wasn't a bad deal. This place was unique! It was like entering a fantastic movie! And it was easy to get there from Beijing, so I 100% recommend you to go if you want to intern in Beijing.

While interning in Taiwan, I was able to check a few things off my bucket list: Living abroad for at least 2 months and visiting the Yangmingshan National Park! I am passionate about nature, volcanos and Asian culture so there are a few places in Asia I want to visit someday. The Yangmingshan National Park was one of them! I really recommend you to go, it's like 1 hour from Taipei, and you can find hot springs and fumaroles thanks to the volcanic activity. The nature is splendid and entering the hot springs feels so goooood! It was like a paradise on Earth!
Of course, my main reason for going to Taiwan was the internship: my field was film and photography. In my case, it was more about filming and editing and I felt so lucky to learn so many things from professionals. I would like to find my own style in video editing and I think this experience has helped me tremendously in that way!

During my Internship in Thailand, I was mostly doing PR and Marketing work. I am not majoring in marketing but I wanted to get different bits of knowledge and become more polyvalent. I am also doing video filming and editing on my personal Youtube channel and my host company asked me to edit some video for their own YT channel. It was a good chance for me to edit another kind of content and get some constructive feedback.
Thailand is a splendid country that I've always wanted to visit, so now this is done! I had a bit of a culture-shocks on arrival but I got used to it quite easily and enjoyed my stay so much!! Thank you, Thailand!

My internship in South Korea was wonderful! I was interning in an international kindergarten with young kids, there were so cute! The parents were happy to see me there to teach English to their children, so they were really kind to me. I was there to help the teachers organizing some events, finding new original ideas to teach kids and, of course, to participate in the classes. I think my presence helped the kids to stay attentive and it was kind of satisfying!
On my last day, they organized a secret party for me that I wasn't expecting and it made my day!! I was even sadder to leave them after that. What a fruitful experience!

I'm so happy with this internship!! Tomorrow is (already) my last day, I wish I could stay a little longer. In 3 months, I got quite used to my life here, and I will probably cry on the airplane because I don't want to leave haha! I made a lot of good experiences, memories, and friends here. Doing an internship was the best thing I could do, I think it will be a great advantage on my resume, and I feel confident about my future now. It is a nice way to slowly get into the adult world~! I was interning in Seoul, so I had access to pretty everything, that was great! On my first day there, I thought I traveled to the future haha, everything is so i-tech and big... But I fell in love with this city!

My internship in China was truly exciting! I had to deal with a lot of different exercises in my company and had cool opportunities! I told my colleagues that I was studying Chinese at university and I think they were happy to know that a foreigner like me was interested in their culture. I wasn't their first intern but they said I was probably the most skilled one in Chinese so it really encouraged me to persevere. I was able to do some translation stuff as well as marketing work.
The guys from Meiji Internships were concerned about me and regularly contacted me to know if everything was going well. Even if I didn't get in any trouble, it was great to know that I could rely on them at any time.

It was the best time of my life yet haha! I was only here for three weeks but the teachers and the host family instantly made me feel at home! 11/10 would do again! I also met new friends from all around the world and we text everyday, still!
The experience helped me grow a lot and taught me many things which I can now apply within my field of work as well as in my university studies. You will most likely get to work with many people from all around the world and they are all eager to make sure you feel like part of the team. Going out together is lots of fun as well! Highly recommended!

I have been studying Chinese since I was in high school. But it is extremely difficult to learn a language that foreign to your own if you don’t have the chance to speak with locals. That is one of many reasons why I chose to intern in China because I wanted to step up my language game. In addition, I would like to work in translations, so I was looking to gain some work experience in that field.

The company I worked at had a translator team for events. Therefore I did a lot of proofreading and translated documents, primarily marketing materials or flyers. The languages I worked with were mainly Chinese and English, but every now and then, I could also put my Spanish skills to use. Just Swedish was never really needed ^^

My internship helped me increase my language skills a lot! Over the first weeks, I primarily focused on improving my vocabulary, but as time went by, I also had the chance to learn some slang words and phrases that my colleagues taught me. This made real-life conversations and watching series or reading the news a lot easier!
Through my internship, I definitely grew as a person and hope to get a career in translation in the future. Also, I hope to be back in China soon!

Interning abroad, especially in Asia was a huge challenge for me! The culture is so different, the food, the language... and of course the working environment. But that's exactly the reason why I choose Hong Kong for my internship. And I have no regrets! My internship was basically about marketing via SNS, copywriting, etc. I had a great time there, everyone seemed happy to meet me, and they were curious about my culture as well, so the communication was easy. I have some basic knowledge of Chinese, but it would probably have been easier to live there with better skills. Inside the company, there was no problem, because everyone was showing interest in me and had quite good English. But outside the company, I had to challenge myself and to speak Chinese! But anyway, it was a good point, in the end, I could improve a lot. I recommend Meiji for their amazing service! If you would like to intern in Asia, don't hesitate anymore, the adventure is waiting for you!

I am passionate about photography, but I wanted to experience what it is like to actually work in the photography industry, and not just taking photos for fun. I also love Korean fashion, so I choose to intern in Korea. I was a bit worried that, as an intern, I might just sit and listen... Well, I wasn't disappointed! Meiji did a really good job and it was a perfect match with the first company I had the interview with. It was a startup in Seoul, exactly what I asked for.
The office was welcoming, with a nice studio, and I was comfortable from the first day there. I had the opportunity to use professional stuff, prepare the lights and setting for the shootings, doing photo editing, manipulate very expensive cameras...!! This internship was particularly exciting because everyone put trust in me so that I improved so quickly! At some point, during the first week, I was a bit stressed out about doing mistakes, but I think they understood that and were having fun remembering all the mistakes they did in the past. I think they were trying to help me relax about this. What wonderful people in this company!!
I will never forget this experience and all the knowledge I got from it. Now I am confident about photography and that I want to work in this industry!
