Program Reviews

This summer I got to intern as a Marketing intern in Seoul. It was an unforgettable experience. A highlight of the program is meeting a diverse group of people from around the world. The events organised by Beyond Academy helped form friendships and getting to know the other interns. You also get to experience the culture of Seoul through the events, explore the city and get to try new foods.

If you haven't been to Seoul before, this program definitely helps you settling in a new city and experiencing the Korean culture. You will also get to visit a lot of the touristic spots. However, if you have already been in Korea before some events might not be as exciting but it's a good opportunity to bond with the other interns.

I gained a lot of experience through my internship. I felt like I was valued in the company and given enough responsibility. I was able to assist in marketing campaigns, attend meetings and even organise events.

Looking back, I believe this internship program helped me grow personally and professionally.

I am very pleased with my Beyond Academy experience. My internship has been very successful, it has provided me with valuable experience, and has undoubtedly helped me grow as a person. I am also pleased with how easy it has been to get in touch with Beyond Academy both before and during my internship, either by email or WhatsApp, which has made me feel safer and given me a more smooth experience. Additionally, the events Beyond Academy offer has introduced me to lovely people from around the world and helped me find activities and locations I would never find on my own. The career sessions offered were also very informative and helpful.

I loved that communication with beyond was very easy and efficient. Finding a job for me was not easy at first but I was always given updates that they were still looking and that I could be rest assured. The email responses were always quick and with very detailed and helpful responses. I also liked that there were many opportunities to meet and have fun with other beyond members. There were many planned trips that showed us the heart of the city, and plans could also be changed based on our own preferences.

I really enjoyed spending 12 weeks in Dublin. This was my first time leaving my country, but I felt really supported by the coordinators with Beyond Academy. They were always available to answer questions and provide helpful information about the city. They even were willing to step in if I had any issues with my internship. My main complaint was the intensity of working 40 hours a week for free. I knew that was the expectation, but it was draining and difficult especially since my internship was not something that I was super passionate about. The others in the program with me also struggled with wanting to go explore the city after spending all day working. If I were to do this program again, I would probably insist on a 4 day work week at a minimum.

Had been the most wonderful journey that I have started, with a mix of business development which took place with the company they had places me with and adventure with the other interns in the community and also a lot of randoms haha. Taught me a lot of things throughout the way and also gave me lot to think about within my self. With an substancial amount of self confidence that grew with my time with them, all I can say is it has been insane. Also got to experience a insane amount of culture that’s unseen in the world.

During my 2-month internship in Dublin, I had the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally. The team was welcoming and supportive, fostering a positive learning environment. Dublin’s vibrant culture, rich history, and friendly locals made my stay enjoyable. I gained hands-on experience in my field and learned about workplace dynamics in an international context. The company provided valuable mentorship, helping me refine my skills while allowing me to contribute to meaningful projects. This experience not only boosted my career prospects but also broadened my cultural perspective, making it a truly enriching journey.

I was very fortunate to receive an internship after my first year of uni. Having not had experience within the film industry, it was important for me to gain it at this time. Beyond Academy were extremely helpful in finding me a placement, during which I developed my skills and gained further knowledge of the industry I aim to go into. The social aspect provided by BA have been wonderful, with them providing me with amazing experiences + memories, as well as making new friends. Ultimately, BA has helped me step out of my comfort zone, filling me with more confidence that will stay with me as I pursue my career.

I had a wonderful experience in Ireland. It helped me grow as a person and overall helped me how to navigate life abroad. I was at first a bit hesitant and scared and as the days were nearing I was terrified but the minute I was in Ireland, I was completely at ease! The people there were extremely hospitable and kind. I had no issues living at a foreign place for 6 weeks. Furthermore, upon meeting the interns I was surprised by how kind they were. I have made wonderful friends along the way and that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t applied to Beyond Academy!

The program itself was very well organized, they help to refine your resume, then look for interviews, find housing, pick you up from the airport and even plan multiple events every week so you get to know the people in your program and get a feel for the city you’re staying in. I was in Amsterdam and it was the most amazing experience, the internship was super cool but the best part was being in the city and having the ability to travel wherever on the weekends, I’ll cherish these memories forever.

I had the absolute best time in Barcelona. Beyond Academy and all of its advisors made the entire experience so seamless and safe, I will always remember my time with them!! I also really appreciated how they made sure my company was the right fit for me and all logistics worked out so I wouldn’t have to worry about safety or anything else and really just be able to soak up all the time I had in Barcelona. I also loved how easy it was to travel to other places on the weekend! A special shoutout to our awesome advisor Leticia:)
