Program Reviews

Before I decided to book an internship experience abroad with Beyond Academy, I had never heard of them before. However, after completing my 6 week program in Barcelona, I will be forever grateful that I decided to book with BA! Leticia, our program coordinator was the kindest person and welcomed each and every one of us with open arms! I had an incredible Summer exploring Barcelona, making new friends, working and creating memories that will last forever. The public transportation in Barcelona was easy to use, the city was so diverse and exciting, and the food was incredible. I also loved the aparto that we had as our housing because it was fun living in the same building as all the other interns! I was able to grow and change so much during this past summer all thanks to the wonderful people of Beyond Academy! I highly recommend!

From the very beginning, I had a great experience, starting with the initial interview with Beyond Academy, where they clearly explained the process. During the internship selection, you have the opportunity to make requests regarding the type of company you'd like to work with. There's virtually no bureaucracy to deal with, and the only thing you need to do is prepare yourself as best as possible to make a good impression from the start. The platform even provides tips on how to do this. I had a positive experience with everyone at Beyond that I interacted with—they were kind, helpful, and always ready to answer any questions. I also had a good experience with the company; I worked on interesting projects and felt like part of the team. In conclusion, I had a very positive experience, and if you want to add experience to your CV, this is a good option.

I embarked on this path to boost my CV since my first university year. It could not have been the best choice; the Beyond Academy team has always been present and attentive since the beginning. I left with many doubts and fears since I chose Seoul as the destination for my internship in Marketing, with a different language, culture and mentality compared to Italian and English. However, the Beyond team was not only present but, above all, EXCELLENT. I can never forget Ji Won, Alize, Seona, and Jinyoung, who made me feel at home from day one and organized the best events. Thanks to them, I had fun and learned much about Korean culture. These girls are the heart of Beyond Academy, and I will enjoy spending time with them. As for my internship…..well, I can only say PERFECT. I worked with a great company where I grew and could put myself to the test, bringing many results and satisfaction. This is crucial for all those who have reached this point of my review: this experience may cost a lot, but it will repay you 100% in every aspect. I say this with all the sincerity and honesty in the world, and I know that one day, this investment will pay you back ten times as much.

I recently completed a three-month internship organized by Beyond Academy, and I can confidently say that it was an invaluable experience, thanks largely to the exceptional support and guidance provided by their team. From the moment I began the application process to the conclusion of my internship, Beyond Academy was there every step of the way, ensuring that I felt supported, informed, and prepared for the challenges ahead.

The application process was smooth and well-structured. Beyond Academy’s team was prompt in their responses and made sure to provide detailed information at every stage. They understood the importance of matching me with an internship that aligned with my career goals, and they took the time to get to know my preferences and aspirations. This personalized approach was a reassuring start, as I felt they genuinely cared about placing me in the right environment.

Once I was matched with an internship, Beyond Academy's involvement didn't stop there. They continued to be an essential source of support throughout the entire experience. The London team, in particular, was incredibly friendly and approachable. They maintained regular contact to check in on my progress, offering guidance whenever needed. This was especially valuable when the internship began to deviate slightly from my initial expectations. Instead of leaving me to navigate these challenges alone, Beyond Academy was proactive in addressing my concerns and ensuring that I could make the most of the situation. Their dedication to my personal and professional development was evident, and it made a significant difference in how I perceived and managed the experience.

The internship itself was a challenging yet rewarding experience. While there were moments that tested my skills and adaptability, I felt well-prepared, thanks to the continuous support from Beyond Academy. They provided me with the resources and encouragement necessary to overcome obstacles and grow from the experience. This ability to adapt and provide timely support highlights the company’s commitment to their participants’ success.

One aspect of Beyond Academy that truly stood out was their attention to detail in creating a well-rounded experience. The activities organized throughout the month were diverse and engaging, catering to a wide range of interests. From cultural excursions to professional networking events, there was always something happening to keep us engaged and learning. Moreover, they were always open to suggestions and feedback, which added a personal touch to the experience. It was clear that Beyond Academy genuinely wanted us to have a fulfilling experience, both professionally and personally.

Another impressive feature was their preparedness for unexpected situations. For instance, when the weather threatened to disrupt planned activities, Beyond Academy always had a Plan B ready to go. This level of foresight and organization ensured that our experience was smooth and enjoyable, even when things didn’t go according to plan. This adaptability further demonstrated their commitment to providing a high-quality experience for all participants.

Overall, Beyond Academy excelled in understanding and supporting their interns. They were not just an intermediary between me and the host company; they were an active participant in my journey, dedicated to ensuring that I had a positive and productive experience. Their professionalism, combined with a genuine care for their participants, sets them apart as an outstanding company for those looking to gain international internship experience.

In conclusion, my time with Beyond Academy was more than just an internship; it was a comprehensive learning experience that challenged me, helped me grow, and provided me with lasting memories and skills. For anyone considering an international internship, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy. Their commitment to support, understanding, and adaptability makes them a top choice for those seeking a well-organized and enriching internship experience.

I was lucky enough to be able to meet an amazing community of people I now call my best friends! The events were so fun and I felt like I got to see so much of Barcelona! My internship was an amazing learning experience and I got to build a great connection with the company and ended up getting a job out of it!! For future interns, I say to go into this with an open mind and open heart! You never know who you’ll meet and what the future has in store! It is overall an amazing, exciting, once in a lifetime experience!

The time I spent in Japan was amazing, but not perfect.

The internship itself was really fun and helpful. Everything you do during the internship will depend entirely on the company you work for. I was lucky in that I worked for a foreign company but the downside was the commute. I would highly recommend looking for your own accommodation as it's so much cheaper and overall better.

The social side of things is mixed. There are events which might interest you and might not. I was able to make some amazing friends and we ended up doing our own thing. Do what makes you happy, for your internship time. I'll probably always look back at my time in Japan fondly, because I've made friends for life and I had so much fun.

The internship was great at providing me with a lot of experience and gave me a good insight into culture and how it is to live in the country I interned in. The program activities they provided were a lot of fun. I enjoyed getting the experience and working on my resume as well as on my career in general with the career workshops that were provided in the program. The company that I worked at was also amazing and I was so thankful to the program for taking the internship placement so seriously and helping me get the internship.

Beyond Academy have helped me secure a tech internship in Tokyo. Throughout the application process, they provided a ton of help and support to bolster my chances of attaining an internship in Tokyo. During my stay in Tokyo, they also provides a culturally immersive experience, through day trips and even wearing kimonos. This allowed me to meet and connect with like-minded people who were also in the program, giving me a chance to network. During my internship, I was also provided with a lot of support throughout the experience and whenever I was in need, the community officers would provide sufficient support throughout, ensuring I had a wonderful and welcoming stay in Tokyo. Overall I would highly recommend this program to those who are not well-informed about internships abroad and would like to have a chance to immerse in different cultures and experiences

Entering Beyond Academy, I felt a bit apprehensive. However, it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. The program helped me forge new friendships and connections while providing invaluable experiences. Although I believe my specific program could have benefited from a stronger scientific focus rather than a marketing one, my time here was immensely worthwhile. Brooklyn, the area coordinator, was amazing. For its first year in Amsterdam, Beyond Academy has been a resounding success.

My time in Japan was incredible! The Tokyo team with Beyond Academy were amazing, A friendly face and supporting hand wherever and Whenever I needed them. The program gives you the space to explore the city and the culture, network with other interns, develop your CV with one on one CV guidance and most importantly grow as an individual. It also can see the opportunity to travel during my time in Japan. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, Yokohama and visited Seoul, Korea. I couldn’t recommend the program more to anyone who is starting their career and needing a boost in experience and adventure.
