Program Reviews

I had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed the Beyond Academy activities. My favourite was definitely going to Cambridge, kind of wish there were more out of London trips too. Also really enjoyed the pub quiz activity and game night. The community coordinators were extremely fun and very nice and supportive. However I do wish there were more career building/advice activities or lessons. For example maybe meeting with industry professionals or one on one coaching with an industry professional.

I did a six month internship in Tokyo and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was incredible to be able to work and explore in Tokyo. I was able to build up experience for my resume while immersing myself in a different culture, meeting different people, and seeing so many amazing sights. There are varying options for industries to intern in and places to spend the internship. I was also able to improve my language skills however it was not necessary for the workspace. There were also community activities to participate in almost every week and it’s easy to meet other interns. I highly recommend this to students who want to build their resume while traveling a new place.

I had a memorable, valuable, and worthwhile experience with Beyond Academy 🚀

My internship consisted of me learning new skills in 3D modeling software with a startup company. My colleagues were very friendly and supportive!

I feel very grateful and blessed to have made lifelong friends at my accommodation (a co-working and co-living space) and created memories that I will always cherish!

Being the only intern on the programme, on a personal level I enjoyed it very much given the fact I tend to struggle in groups! So it was a lovely experience to have 1 to 1 cultural and social activities with my community co-ordinator, Letícia. I also attended a few language exchange meetings and salsa classes in my spare time in order to meet others who could help me with my Spanish and to immerse myself fully into the culture!

Letícia is a wonderful human being who I've enjoyed getting to know over these last few months! She is a very organised, considerate and empathic, individual and if I ever needed any advice with my internship experience or emotional support, I felt very comfortable with her.

All in all! A truly rewarding, exciting and valuable experience 🚀 I am glad I chose Barcelona! ❤️

The Tokyo Program was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I met people and took part in activities that I would’ve otherwise never done, and the Beyond team were so helpful the entire time. From the moment you sign up until the day you leave Tokyo the team are on hand to help you with any worries or issues you may have, all while providing wonderful experiences for you to enjoy with others on the program. There were a great variety of events, all of which I loved doing. I couldn't recommend Beyond Academy enough to anyone who wants to see the sights of Tokyo while also getting a unique internship experience.

The Beyond Academy Tokyo program is an incredible program I'd recommend to anyone who's interested. From the moment you sign up to the day you leave Japan, they are so helpful and kind, and I think where they especially shine is with the local team. The local help team has been absolutely amazing throughout my whole time in Japan, and I honestly could not have asked for them to be any better.

Beyond Academy also organises a huge number of events for interns to attend, with there usually being one on Thursday evenings and Sunday daytimes. These events are super useful for getting integrated in Tokyo, as well as getting to know your fellow interns better. Some of the events organised during my time here were a day trip to mount fuji, an afternoon in the historic area of asakusa wearing kimonos, a tour of different natural disasters and how to deal with them, held by the Tokyo fire department, and many more.

All in all, this is a wonderful program, that I wholeheartedly support, and I'm so glad I chose to do it, having made many friends and great experiences to remember it by. I 100% recommend anyone considering it to give it a try.

If you're considering doing an internship through Beyond Academy, I'd say do not hesitate! Although the onboarding process was a bit shaky and lacked clarity, BA matched me with an amazing company in Tokyo. Words cannot describe how much I loved working with my boss and I'm so grateful for the doors of opportunity and relationships that have opened through it. Not to mention, the BA staff is stellar. They go above and beyond for the interns, and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay and adjusting. I'm so excited to go back and see them again!

All I can say is Wow! This was not my first time in Japan, I went in 2019 with another Internship program at the time, and and to put it mildly the experience left somethings to be desired. However I decided to take another chance and found out about Beyond Academy. I'm glad I made the choice. The team, from onboarding to Finance, and then the support staff and Coordinators you meet in Japan, all went above and beyond to ensure and everything is up to par, and should you need help they are never a moments message away. Never in my dreams did I expect to go to Mount Fuji two days before my birthday! The events that they plan for the group range from exciting trips to well known and hidden secrets of Japan. For Dinners or lunches the Coordinators will work with whatever food conditions you have and plan accordingly. I'd like to thank the staff - Alize, Stephanie and Fristy - for their hard word and dedication. 11/10 Would recommend to anyone whose is visiting Japan for the first time, or if you want to plan another experience for yourself!

The Beyond Academy internship abroad program in Seoul was a transformative experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. One of my favorite parts of this program was the amazing cultural experience. The program organizers went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and supported in navigating both the workplace and the vibrant city of Seoul. My internship placement was chosen to align with my career goals and academic background and also helped me develop valuable skills for my future career. From exploring historical sites to enjoying traditional Korean performances, every outing was an amazing experience for me.

My time abroad was a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone forced me to confront challenges and adapt to unfamiliar environments, fostering resilience and self-reliance. Whether it was navigating public transportation in a bustling city, each obstacle became an opportunity for growth. To future interns, embrace uncertainty and be open to new experiences and perspectives. Flexibility is key when navigating unfamiliar environments, and being adaptable will help you overcome challenges and make the most of unexpected opportunities.

This program was an unforgettable experience filled with professional growth and lifelong memories. From working in a dynamic environment to exploring iconic landmarks, every moment was enriching. Despite the challenges of navigating a new city, the rewards of interning in London outweighed any drawbacks.

Looking back on my time interning abroad in London, I can boldly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This program did not only enhance my skills but it also gave me memories to cherish for a lifetime.
