Beyond Academy Reviews

I had the most amazing time during my internship, both with my company and the program. Coming into this experience, I was very nervous, but I believe that I have been able to grow and change so much over the past few weeks; both personally and professionally. One of the biggest factors that helped me feel more confident over my time here was the support I had from my program and the people that were there. I am so lucky to have been able to have this experience and would definitely recommend it to others.

Would definitely recommend this program for interns who also want to experience a foreign country! Beyond gives plenty of options for host countries, and the team is very helpful before and during the trip! Everyone I met while abroad were so nice as well as the other interns, I will never forget them!

Only downside is the price of the trip. Very expensive, but the program also includes two activities every week, but only some are paid for. The difference in accommodation locations were pretty big, and you don't get a say in where you stay. Some interns had to travel over an hour every day for work, but for me personally, I was put in a spot one stop away from my job on the subway, which was perfect.

Interning abroad for six weeks was a perfect amount of time to see everything that I wanted to. The Seoul team was very helpful in setting up our subway cards, and answering any questions we had. The range of activities set up for us were very big, some days we visited historical sites, others would be more modern. I feel like I got the full Seoul experience! Thank you Beyond!

Through Beyond Academy, I was able to land an amazing internship and explore Seoul for six weeks! Every step of the way Beyond Academy was there to help and guide me. From helping me prep for interviews or resolving issues with my accommodations, I am so glad that I took this opportunity! This was my first time traveling by myself ever, and I was very nervous about being alone in a new country! But the coordinators in Seoul were so helpful and kind! They made sure that my trip to Seoul went smoothly and that I got to my accommodations safely. Whenever I had a problem I knew I could reach out to them for help!

Exploring the city with the coordinators and other interns was definitely a highlight of my trip. Also, working in Seoul is such an amazing experience. I learned so much from just six weeks working as an intern that will help me during the rest of my career. If you are thinking about interning abroad, I would recommend Beyond Academy!

I was in Seoul for 6 weeks with beyond academy and my experience was amazing, from the beginning with matching me to a company and all the way to my destination, beyond academy was so supportive, helpful and accommodating. When it came to the application, BA made sure I was set up with a company that matched my goals and aspirations which I really appreciated.

It was my first time flying so far from home and alone, but BA was always there to help and support with anything I needed. The days out with the co-ordinators and other interns were 100% the highlights of my time in Seoul! A huge thank you to all the Co-ordinators for being so kind and welcoming, they definitely made my trip a whole lot better. I can’t recommend this experience enough, if you’re thinking about it, I say just do it! It’s a great opportunity to learn more about your career journey and also a great place rich in culture and history! Thank you to Beyond Academy!!!

I came to Beyond Academy at the start of the second semester of my third year of college, and they efficiently partnered me up with the perfect internship that taught me so much more than I could have imagined. For students looking to pursue an internship abroad or who are looking for assistance, Beyond is a fine program that delivers and clearly cares about its students/interns. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity that Beyond gave me, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in this line of experience.

I was matched with the perfect company and felt like I gained real career experience and connections. I was able to network, contribute ideas, connect with clients, and feel like a real team player. I was truly valued for my contributions and not just seen as inexperienced and given menial tasks.

As for Beyond Academy, they are with you every step of the way. Living in Tokyo is not easy, but the supportive coordinators are easy to reach out to if you have any questions from before you arrive and all throughout your internship. They also have fun social events for all interns a couple of times a week, so you do not have to worry about trying too much to look for others to spend time with. They also love hearing what kind of activities and events interns are interested in, so it's very easy to collaborate on having fun experiences together in Tokyo. The possibilities are infinite!

My internship experience with Beyond Academy was incredibly valuable, both professionally and personally. From the beginning, the program was well-structured and supportive, making the transition into a new work environment feel smooth and exciting rather than overwhelming.

One of the standout aspects of Beyond Academy is the level of guidance and mentorship provided. The team consistently checked in, offered advice, and created a strong sense of community among interns. This made a huge difference, especially being in a new city and navigating a new industry. Their workshops and career coaching sessions were particularly helpful in building confidence, refining my professional skills, and thinking more intentionally about my career path.

Through my placement, I was able to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, creative environment. I developed practical skills, learned how to collaborate effectively within a team, and gained insight into the realities of working in my field. The exposure to real projects and responsibilities helped me grow quickly and feel more prepared for future opportunities.

Beyond the professional side, the cultural and social aspects of the program were just as rewarding. Meeting other interns from around the world, exploring the city together, and sharing experiences made the internship even more memorable.

Overall, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone looking to gain meaningful work experience while also growing personally. It’s a great balance of professional development, support, and adventure, and it has definitely been a defining experience in my journey so far.

I chose Beyond Academy after careful review of what they offer and how they can support me both during my search for an internship spot and throughout my stay in Seoul. They were rapid in finding me the best spots possible, and helped me with prep and post interview placement, as well what to look out for when in Seoul. The team here in Seoul was also amazing, and always there to help me. I can only recommend them and say that they helped ease the entire process for me! A big thank you to Beyond!

This was an extremely valuable experience! Having never been out of the country before, I find that this program was a good opportunity to see what it’d be like because at least you aren’t completely on your own and are able to ask for help when needed. Including the several opportunities you’ll have to make friends with those in your internship or accommodation! There will never be a boring moment because you’ll either be at your internship or you’ll be at one of the many events that Beyond has.

This experience was a lot of fun. The interview process and finding an internship was smooth and the support beyond academy offers is professional. The work I did felt meaningful, and I got along with my coworkers wonderfully. The coordinators from beyond were next level and always were helpful and made the experience that much more fun and stress free. Tokyo Japan was a beautiful location, and living in Japan was an absolute pleasure! I would absolutely recommend this experience to other travelers or students!
