Beyond Academy Reviews

This was a super personalized experience with extremely helpful & friendly staff along every step of the way, from the application, to finding your perfect internship match and as well as the program coordinators who set up engaging weekly events with other interns once you're in your program city. After finishing my program in New York City, I can say that Beyond Academy is a fantastic way to ensure a legit internship experience in a field you're looking to pursue. I would heavily recommend their services!

I spent 8 weeks in Seoul with Beyond Academy and overall had a really positive experience. The programme was a great opportunity to gain professional experience in Korea while also developing my confidence working in an international environment. The company organised a range of activities and events for interns, which made it easy to meet other people on the programme and experience different parts of Seoul together. Both the Beyond Academy staff and other interns were very friendly and supportive.

The internship also gave me useful professional experience and helped me better understand working culture in Korea, as well as giving me something valuable to take forward in my future career. Although I had to leave my internship partway through due to personal circumstances, I chose to remain in Korea and Beyond Academy were very understanding and supportive of my situation, which I really appreciated.

I went on an internship with beyond academy for 6 weeks in NYC and honestly it has been the best experience of my life. The community team is amazing, they made sure that everything was as planned, all the activities were super fun and it was great meeting so many people from all over the world. Yes it is expensive but it is 100% worth it. It was my first time travelling alone and my first time doing an internship and I will never forget this experience, I made friends that I will keeping in contact with and overall the memories I made will stay with me forever.

Beyond Academy gives college students the opportunity to have an unforgettable experience in a new place as well as concrete work experience both for a more complete resume and sharper skills to apply in your career. I met some amazing people and developed a great relationship with my host company. If you need an internship, a new and unfamiliar setting to promote growth, or a new group of friends beyond academy is the place to put your trust in. It challenged me to adapt quickly, build confidence, and gain valuable experience that will benefit me long after the internship ended.

I had an overall great experience with Beyond Academy in Seoul. The staff always offered amazing support regarding questions and was super friendly. You could always join activities with others and built friendships. The internship I did was also very trustworthy and I barley had any major problems, especially with regular check-in’s. I spent 5 months abroad and I felt very safe. A lot of information was always offered, as well as good preparation before coming and joining. I had the best time abroad!

Got to do an internship in Bangkok, Thailand. Biggest city I've ever lived in and first time working in person for a company and I was never stressed. Beyond really helps you every step of the way with finding an internship, housing, and then hosting events throughout the internship so you can meet other interns! My favorite part of this experience was getting so many opportunities to talk to and learn from local people so I always had someone I could ask for recommendations of things to do. We had a paid for trip to another city for a week and my boss took everyone out to dinner and to different activities after work and it was a lot of fun and a great look into the Thai work and social culture.

I had the best time in Sydney! I learned so much during my internship, not only about the career, but about the country too. I loved the community team and they made the whole experience better. I didn’t have any issues during my program, but I knew the team would do everything they could to help if something came up. I could tell they worked so hard to plan fun events and make the experience enjoyable for everyone, all while keeping other costs very budget friendly. I highly recommend this program!!

I really enjoyed my 6 weeks in Sydney. The beyond academy leaders, Taz and Scarlett were very welcoming and always willing to help out. I really appreciated how much time they put into making sure my experience was the best possible. We would go out for dinner on Thursdays to catch up with them and Taz would usually share some interesting fact about Sydney that I would have never known if I was staying there alone. Taz always had a great monthly schedule for all of the interns and was always willing to move things around if they didn’t work for us.

During my 6 weeks in barcelona I was given the opportunity to intern at a consulting firm and gain hands on experience working with Catalonias sustainability strategy. I worked hybrid so during my free time I was able to take weekend trips and explore the city. Beyond organized activities for their interns, curating community and providing opportunities to explore parts of barcelona I otherwise wouldn’t have known existed. I made a lot of great memories and I am so grateful to beyond for facilitating a wonderful experience.

I spend 6 weeks in Seoul during summer 2026. If you are considering this trip you will have a blast! You should do some research before you come so that you are adequately prepared for anything that might come your way. If you like to shop bring some extra luggage!I’m super glad to have the opportunity and the community in Seoul’s made sure I got the most of my 6 weeks there! I made so many friends. Any issues I had there were solved relatively quick and they even helped out with small things here and there.
