Program Reviews

I found that going overseas to do an internship with the Beyond Academy agency was the best decision. They provided me with support whilst I was there in my work and social life, providing me with rare experiences, I don’t think I would have had otherwise. They helped me with any problems to do with accommodation and provided insight into the best things to do in Sydney. They took our group of interns on big trips to the Blue Mountains and a show at the Opera house and were just really amazing support to have when staying in a new country.

Taking a risk to live in a foreign country by yourself can have many challenges, one of them being making connections. Beyond Academy gave me an opportunity to meet friends with whom I developed extremely meaningful relationships, and that was a helpful foundation to remain in a comfortable headspace to take advantage of all the guidance Beyond Academy offered me while I was in Tokyo. If I had the opportunity to participate in the Beyond Academy program again, I would without a doubt, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in global studies.

My 4-months stay in Tokyo was a wonderful experience. Beyond Academy managed to find me opportunities in the Fintech sector, even though I was only on my 2nd year of my bachelor. Everything is well done to make us comfortable. A lot and diverse activities are offered. For example : a Fuji trip, karaoke, kimono rental and tea ceremony, Japanese restaurant, and so on. The Tokyo Community Team was also very kind and very friendly, and were always here for your help! It is one of my best experience. You feel very safe and never lonely. I recommend it a lot.

My time in Tokyo with Beyond Academy was the best 6 weeks of my life so far. From the great internship I was assigned to the other interns I have made lifelong friends with, my time with BA was incredible from start to finish. The events put on by the program are a great way to see the city you're living in, but there is plenty of time to also explore on your own. The internship is also super helpful in contributing to professional development. The coordinators were super helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I can't recommend an internship with Beyond Academy enough.

I had the incredible opportunity to spend 10 weeks in Sydney with Beyond Academy, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, the program exceeded my expectations in every way. Even before the program began, the communication with the Beyond Academy team was excellent. They provided invaluable support with my visa application and ensured the process was smooth and stress-free.

The twice-weekly events were absolute highlights—ranging from cultural experiences to social gatherings, they were the perfect way to meet people and immerse myself in Sydney life. Throughout the program, I always felt supported and cared for. The team was always available if I had questions or needed assistance

I am so happy that I had the opportunity through Beyond Academy to live in Sydney and get to know the life down under. So thank you again for this great time. I'll never forget it!

I’d wanted to travel to South Korea for a very long time but was always too nervous to go by myself. As a recent graduate that is looking to begin my career in my chosen industry but also take some time for myself to travel, Beyond Academy provided the perfect opportunity for me to not only find work experience in another country and experience work culture there, but visit my dream destination and be surrounded by kind and helpful people. I really recommend this program to solo travellers or people wanting experience working in other countries but aren’t a quite sure how to do it! Beyond Academy also plans lots of events and group activities so that even though you’re working, you still feel like you have seen all the sights and done lots of fun things during your internship! It is also a great way to make friends and find a warm community of people to make your stay much more enjoyable!

My time at Beyond Academy has been one of the best I've had so far! I was in Seoul for a little over two months and it was great! The people from Beyond were so nice and it felt like they were there for us 24/7. We also did things together besides the events and in my case I was able to make some great new friends!

My internship was a huge success and I was able to make a huge leap forward in my career. I did an internship as a fashion designer and made some lovely new contacts that will be really helpful in the future. In addition to the internship, it was also possible for me to visit my old internship place in Paris at a trade fair! I can only recommend Beyond Academy to anyone who is open to something new and wants to pursue a career abroad because it really is a huge springboard!

I’ve been staying in Sydney for 10 weeks and it has been the best 10 weeks in my life. I’ve learned so much and meet so many great people! Sydney is an amazing city and the diverse culture is so unique and special. I am gonna miss this city and the people that I’ve meet. The experience that I’ve received is something that is going to help me forever. Because of the fun events beyond academy always planned, I’ve never felt alone and had something to laugh ever week. I am so happy I did this internship and I would do it over and over again.

A lot of social events! Got to do a lot around Sydney! Although the host company was small, it was directly related to my industry choice.

I signed up late, but my admissions tutor was supportive and helped me match a company before the start date! They communicated with me throughout the whole process and did their best to match me with a desired company. The support team in Sydney was amazing throughout the two-month experience! I would recommend this program to anyone considering an internship abroad!

My journey allowed me to gain professional experience in a city as robust and diverse as London, which was a great learning experience getting to meet so many different people as well as work with them on projects and developing strategies to help improve the operational side of the business. Initially I kept to myself as I was relatively new to the company and was finding my feet in terms of the workload and the working environment however after a while I settled in and formed good work relationships with my peers as well as being able to lead a team of interns towards the end of the 6 month period
