Program Reviews

Really amazing program. Interning in Singapore was wonderful. My coworkers were accommodating and friendly. I loved working with different people and seeing what they do; I learned a lot and made good connections in Asia. If you want to do activities you might not do by yourself and see new parts of the city, I would recommend attending as many activities planned by Meiji as you can. It's a great way to meet other interns as well and create unforgettable memories with them. I lived many adventures with my friends in Singapore and I plan on keeping in touch with them for a long time to come. The accommodation was good and comfortable and the neighborhood was calm. The staff was lovely and very caring for us. I have learned so much and had so much fun in the process and I had a once in a lifetime experience!

My time in Thailand was truly an unbelievable experience. I did an exceptionally wonderful internship that taught me so much about the fashion industry in Asia.
I gained much knowledge and I feel like a different and more talented person now. There was never a time I felt unsure thanks to Meiji Internships' remarkable work. They organized amazing trips to places like Erawan National Park or Chiang Mai. I was constantly on the go to discover new places and live new adventures! I am thankful for the incredible friendships I created. Meiji Internships is a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities. Living in Asia was so cool and different from America, I was amazed and surprised by so many things.

I absolutely loved my time interning in Vietnam with Meiji Internships! I interned in a business incubator company, and worked in business development and consulting. My internship inspired me a lot and allowed me to have a professional look at my working approach. My coordinator was so nice and optimistic, it was always a pleasure to meet and speak with everyone in this programme. I had a wonderful group of friends and we had such a great time together. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I was afraid that three months would be quite long, but time flew by and I was always busy working, learning and sightseeing. The Vietnamese people welcomed me so warmly and kindly that it was hard to leave them at the end of my three months.
I will cherish those memories for a long long time!

I did a filming internship in Hong Kong which was awesome. My coworkers were so fun and talented, I hope I will be able to become as talented as they are and become a great producer. Living in a foreign country far away from home was so exciting! I wasn't left alone as Meiji staff was there and available at any time. They helped me make friends with the other interns and the locals so that I never felt completely on my own. My accommodation was comfortable and located in a nice area. I chose a sharehouse and I got along with everyone. My internship experience was wonderful and I came back as a different person. I enjoyed my job and gained an amazing work experience that boosted my resume and changed my life. It was clearly the greatest two months of my life!

Doing this internship was quite a spontaneous decision. I have always wanted to go to South Korea, but I wasn't planning on going that soon! When I was looking for an internship, I found out Meiji and I was like "Nah, I can do it in Germany..." but my mum encouraged me to apply so that's what I did and... I went to South Korea haha! I have never seen such a beautiful place. When I arrived to Seoul I was overwhelmed by this incredible city! I had a good time socializing with the other interns of the program and visiting Korea. My internship was really rewarding. I had a lot of fun and interest in working with my co-workers and I learned a great deal about international marketing. I sometimes felt pushed out of my comfort zone, but those were precisely the moments I remember the most and from which I learned the most.

While looking at different options for my internship, I went through the website of Meiji Internships. I liked the fact that they were offering internships not only in Tokyo but everywhere in Japan. I went to Tokyo before and I wanted to visit a new region in Japan. Fukuoka was awesome! I don't think I will ever get used to Japan's beauty. I was overwhelmed by everything I saw in Fukuoka. I am glad that I could discover Japanese culture in this city and become friends with Japanese people. I did a business development internship and learnt a lot from my colleagues. They told me that Fukuoka was a great place to start a business these days!
Traveling to Japan alone was a bit intimidating, but Meiji Internships helped a lot through the Skype consultation, the online guide and the onsite staff that was incredibly amazing and provided 24 hours support. Now the best advice I can give to someone who is interested in this programme is to be yourself and enjoy every second of it!

I couldn't be happier with how much I've learnt about graphic design. I admit that in the beginning, it was hard for me to accept criticism on my designs. But once I realised it was actually constructive feedback and that it was the reason why an internship was so important, I started to accept my colleagues' feedbacks and improved my skills tremendously. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity to chase my dreams in Asia. Meiji Internships was a great choice, the onsite staff was wonderful and the cultural activities were really fun and interesting. I enjoyed every minute of this inspiring adventure in Vietnam. In addition to the progress, I gained a deep understanding of Vietnamese culture and traditions. I opened my mind on how every culture can be different but beautiful!

My supervisors trusted me from day one and it motivated me to give my best at work. I learned a lot about marketing, but also group work, Chinese, and also about myself. I found out that the only limits I had were the ones I set unconsciously, and that I just have to remove them to be able to do great things. Once I worked on that, I was able to handle projects on my own while two months ago, I thought I would never be a manager. This internship allowed me to have bigger dreams and ambitions.
Hong Kong was a great destination. Exploring HK and living there was such a wonderful experience. I have memories that will stay with me forever. I could understand the history of this unique region and meet amazing people through the program

I appreciated that Meiji Internships sent a welcome package by email with some practical information about Taipei and Taiwan in general. I was warmly welcomed by the staff when I arrived and I was guided to my apartment. Honestly, I was a bit scared because it was the first time for me to travel alone, but the staff was so caring and cheering that I had no choice but to have a light heart.
The first day of my internship arrived, and I was super nervous on the way to my workplace. I was intimidated by the cultural difference and the language barriers I might be confronted with. However, everything went remarkably well. My colleagues were very kind and pleased to meet me. I had a brilliant time in Taipei and in this company. I learnt a lot and had an extraordinarily fulfilling experience.

I am studying international business at uni. I am interested in entrepreneurship and developing my own business. My goal with this internship was to learn from people who already succeed in their field. It's great to try by yourself, make mistakes and then learn from it, but I think it's even better to save time and invest in yourself. I took a lot of notes, asked a multitude of questions and tried my best to understand how a business works and how to succeed. My boss became my mentor and I am very grateful for everything he taught me. Even though everyone worked hard at the office, the atmosphere was friendly and it was a pleasure to go to work every morning.
Séoul is a really big city with plenty of activities to do and good restaurants to go to. Korean people are nice and welcoming, even in such a big city. (They have nothing to do with Parisians ahah)
Korea is quite cold in winter so you should bring warm clothes. And above all, come with an open mind!
