Beyond Academy Reviews

This program is a great opportunity to grow and learn to trust yourself. The community team will provide all the support you need, but will also step back and let you figure things out on your own when you need to. Though living abroad certainly has its challenges, I would recommend it to anyone, and I think this program is a great way to make that happen. I had the most amazing time and met some incredible people through my living accommodations. This was a truly special experience and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to live in Barcelona.

The London community team was amazing! They were always so happy to help me with any advice I needed about my internship, housing, or even just life in London. I felt so comfortable talking to all of them, like I was talking to a friend, every time!

There was always so much to do and so much on offer from Beyond. So many options for events, but never any pressure to do all of them, you could easily pick and choose which social events you wanted to go to! And every one I went to was so much fun, and I met so many other interns from around the world who I am still in contact with now!

In recent years, I have wanted to travel by myself, but still have a support system, and Beyond Academy provided that for me. The staff were always so friendly and responded quickly to any questions I had on my mind. Overall process from start to end was great. Everything was made clear, and the assistance was fantastic. My internship was amazing and turned out to be really enjoyable. I absolutely loved Seoul and exploring the city. Beyond always had some of the greatest events, and it was nice not to have to deal with booking main attractions events in Seoul that I would have had to book on my own.

My Internship in Seoul provided by Beyond Academy represents a cornerstone in my personal experience, as well as professional experience. From the very beginning, Beyond Academy made sure the whole process was tailored to my needs in a comfortable way.

The instructions provided were really insightful, leaving no gaps open for doubts when you are a newcomer.

Their community was great too, a really healthy environment that allows you to make good connections and bring the best out of this experience.

The company I interned at has no bad words from me.

Really a 10/10 experience, definitely recommend.

My Japan internship was damn solid, way better than I expected. Olivia, Stephanie, and Sydney were top-tier coordinators—sharp, reliable, and always making sure I was good to go. The community was real, full of solid people who made every day worth showing up for. I got everything I came for and then some, with moments that’ll stick with me for years. Whether it was the work or just kicking it with the crew, it was time well spent. No regrets at all. I’d tell anyone to jump on this opportunity—it’s the real deal and worth every second.

My name is Dani, and I stayed 2 months in Tokyo with Beyond Academy. I loved my time there so much; I just left and am already missing it! The coordinators are super sweet and organize weekly events with the cohort (other people with you on the trip). I got super close with the ppl who stayed in the same house as me. I liked my Internship, but I noticed that some of my friends' other companies were a bit of a mismatch. I highly recommend this program for growth, work, new culture, and community.

I did a 6-month internship in Tokyo with Beyond Academy and had a great experience overall. The internship lined up well with what I was aiming for, both personally and professionally.

Tokyo is just an incredible city to live in. There’s always something happening, the food is unreal, and every neighborhood has its own vibe. I visited twice before this program, but living and working here is completely different (in a good way ofc).

The coordinators, Olivia and Stephanie, were amazing. They’re super fun, easy to talk to, and always ready to help with anything - from hospital visits to food recommendations. They made the whole experience super smooth and enjoyable.

The accommodation was clean, safe, and in a great location. Living with other interns was fun and made it easier to settle in. I can say I definitely made some lifelong friends through the program.

I was skeptical at first about the events, but they were actually great - well-planned, varied, and a fun way to explore Tokyo and meet people without it feeling forced.

As a bonus, I actually ended up landing a full-time job in Japan after the internship, which would've never happened if it wasn't for the program lol.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend the program to anyone serious about gaining international work experience and exploring Tokyo/Japan.

The Beyond Academy staff and locals were absolutely amazing! They always responded to messages quickly and planned some amazing events for us all to do. They supplied some amazing support and helped us with whatever issues we were having. My only slight issue was that the company I was placed with didn’t fully meet my expectations, but that was not entirely Beyond Academy’s fault. All in all, I would definitely recommend this programme for anyone looking to get some work experience and travel and the same time or are looking to work abroad in the future.

I have really enjoyed my time in Barcelona on the Beyond Academy internship program! Our community coordinator, Isabel, was excellent, she was always on hand to help and led some fantastic community events that helped us discover parts of the city we wouldn't have otherwise & experience typical events like flamenco and tapas! The community aspect is great to meet other interns on the program and is well-organised.

My internship was not completely as expected, something that was not the fault of Beyond, and Beyond worked hard to provide appropriate solutions and support throughout this so my program was still meaningful to my professional growth. They also run a careers workshop and 1-to-1 meeting during your program, which were great to supplement your internship.

Interning abroad is such a fun, worthwhile & exciting opportunity, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested!

Thank you to the Beyond Academy team, especially to Isabel & Olivia!! 🚀✨

It’s hard to put the whole 6 months of my time in Japan in a short review but here goes!

I have gained so much from my time here and through the internship I ended up doing! I’m a photographer and landed an internship that basically had me capturing marketing visuals for their companies. My boss was so helpful and taught me so much and I was lucky enough to really gain vital experiences in my field! I was lucky as not every intern had a perfect fit, but I’m super grateful I did!

The social and cultural side of the experience was as great if not better! The interns were an integral part of my time here, and I made great new friends! The coordinators were there for every problem or question that arose and always knew where to point, even if there was no answer available at the exact moment. All in all, I would definitely recommend stepping outside your comfort zone and giving it a try!

Also, regarding the internship, it really does depend on YOU whether you enjoy or get the most out of it! The more you ask and push your company to give you more things, the more you will get. It’s not just enough to sit there and think that once you get to Japan, the rest will come to you.
