Program Reviews

I absolutely loved my time in Dublin and consider it to be a pivotal career experience for me. Not only was I able to explore a lot of Ireland, but I loved the company I was interning with, gained valuable skills, and even have an opportunity to continue to work with them after graduation. Beyond Academy planned great events, created a community, and always made sure we were safe! I recommend this program to anyone looking to gain skills abroad and expand their resume. The internship experiences are catered to your goals and Beyond makes sure you have the resources to succeed!

I had a great time exploring Seoul, especially with the help of Sooyeon, the local community advisor. She was very helpful when I encountered an emergency in Seoul. When it comes to group events and activities, she is always there to remind me and other interns of upcoming events so we don’t miss them. Other than that, the company I interned for was fun, but I don’t think it challenged me enough for my personal development. Overall, I had a great experience in Seoul and it is definitely a must for anyone looking to explore East Asian culture.

The 8 weeks I spent in Dublin with Beyond Academy was a really great experience! I really appreciated the thought put into the activities and field trips planned for us. They gave us a perfect insight into the Irish culture and everything that Dublin had to offer. The sheer number of activities planned, even if they were just casual dinners, was a welcome surprise and they were almost always the highlights of my week. I got along well with everyone else in the program and did quite enjoy my time at my intern company. The Beyond Academy support staff as well were very helpful and would often go above and beyond for us. I do wish the accommodation we were given was closer to city centre as this made my near-daily commute to work quite the journey. I ended up spending quite a bit of my days on busses. However, it overall was an invaluable experience I’m grateful for having!

My internship with Beyond Academy was absolutely amazing! It was worth the investment for further my professional and cultural growth. Through this program, I was able to meet and work under talented individuals in my field. I gained a better understanding of the corporate world and am very excited to apply what I learnt in America. Additionally, the BA staff members are so loving and will ensure that you make the most of your time in Korea. For potential interns, please go into the program looking to grow to your fullest potential!

I had an outstanding 5 weeks in Dublin. The support staff and host company were all kind and welcoming. The weekly (or sometimes bi-weekly) dinners and cultural events were anazing. I got very close with my fellow interns, as these programs bring like-minded individuals together. The housing had good rooms, but wouldn't hold packages for us. We were a little far from the city, but there was a housing shortage and public transport was easy to navigate. The work experience was incredibly meaningful and will help me in the future.

There was never a dull moment, and I got to experience Sydney to the fullest extent during my 8 week stay. Since this program is centered on internships, I got to experience two unique communities. One in the workplace and the other with my fellow Beyonders. I had the freedom to plan my own events and excursions, as well as participate in the Beyond Academy coordinated events. Our community coordinator was especially great at customizing the activities to our specific group of interns, and the role success team was very supportive in preparation for the internship. I would definitely recommend this experience.

I enjoyed my time in london with beyond academy and Jet Media Network as a marketing intern! It was a great experience and I even got to go to fun content shoots with celebrities in the sports industry. My office was soo welcoming and I always felt like I had something to do and was appreciated! I love London and I now decided to come back to study my master's soon! The beyond staff were so caring and welcoming and made moving to London alone such a breeze for me! Olivia was awesome and I hope to hangout with her again upon returning to London. This experience was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

I thought Beyond Academy did a great job providing 24/7 support and I felt supported and safe throughout the time I was there. Luiza did a great job planning events and made the events super fun and enjoyable. However, the accommodation was way too far from my office. The commute everyday was almost an hour by bus. The area in which the accommodation was in was not the greatest and not that much to do. Besides the accommodation being so far away, it was super nice with nice amenities like a gym and movie room. Overall, Beyond Academy did a good job of providing support and making us feel not alone throughout the process.

I absolutely loved everything about my time with Beyond Academy! The people were amazing, the activities were enjoyable and exciting, and my company was filled with wonderful and welcoming individuals which all came together to make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me! I loved Barcelona as a city and it was exciting to make new friends and be able to experience such a lively and new city with them. I absolutely appreciated every aspect of my time with Beyond and in Barcelona and I would 100% do it again!

Coming to Barcelona and meeting everyone was the best. Luiza was the best coordinator and I felt so blessed to feel comfortable going to her with anything and everything. I will cry saying goodbye to her. Olivia was very helpful and supportive, as well. I appreciate how BA handled my unfortunate situations with my internship. Overall, better communication and clarity on what to expect before the program would have helped and way too expensive for what was provided. We all feel a little scammed.
