Beyond Academy Reviews

The first highlight of the stay is the accomodation. A room in Dangsan with a stunning view of the city and the Han river, with access to the rooftop. The stay included a kitchen which I shared with amazing flatmates who became friends, as well as an ensuite bathroom and modern gym. Just a short trip away was my internship, which was thoroughly rewarding and insightful, giving me an experience I won't forget on the beautiful Yonsei University campus. The Seoul co-ordinator team were also a highlight, all very friendly, supportive, and helpful. The events were exciting and affordable, and covered many of the best spots in Seoul.

I had the best time this summer with Beyond! Through every step of the process, to first applying to Beyond, to landing in London, they were always there and quick to offer advice and assurances. Paying for them to sort accommodation for me was such a game-changer; I really think it was essential to my enjoyment of the internship. I didn't have to worry about it at all. I just showed up where they pointed me. The London team themselves were the loveliest people! They were so kind and eager to help, and a good laugh as well on the various trips and events Beyond planned while I was there (many of them included in the package!).

I really enjoyed my internship. I did marketing at a theatre in Islington, and I learned so much! I became a total pro at using software like Canva, and I got to work with some really exciting industry professionals! I'm already in talks for a graduate job directly due to the experience I gained here!

Overall, I highly recommend using Beyond if you want to do an internship in a different country. It completely removes all the stress surrounding the internship and gives you a group of people you can immediately befriend and hang out with. The events they planned were also essential for helping me explore more of the city and try places I would have never have found on my own!

This internship is an amazing opportunity for professional growth, building confidence and socialising. This was one of the best opportunities I have experienced, and being able to gain work experience abroad not only being a part of learning new cultures but also learning the language. I would reccomend this internship for people who want to branch out and discover if they want to work in another country and meet new people. The only thing I would say that could definitely be improved is the work experience itself, be prepared to adapt in the work environment as the job may not meet your specific expectations

Beyond Academy was such an insane experience. Insane in the sense that it feels like thr program is too good to be true. The application and placement process was long but at no point did I feel alone. Beyond Academy staff supported me the entire way and the support didn't fade when I got to my placement. The community team was always there to give advice for living in the city and always lent a lending ear when I was struggling. This was hands down a 10 out of 10 experience. Would DEFINITELY reccomend!

Spending 8 weeks in New York through Beyond Academy was such a valuable experience for me. The internship placement was well-suited to my interests, and the team I worked with was welcoming and made sure I learned a lot during my time there.

I stayed in Brooklyn and met so many people from different backgrounds, and the weekly activities that Beyond organised gave us opportunities to explore NYC together. This program gave me both professional growth and personal memories I’ll never forget. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and supportive internship abroad.

I’ve always dreamed of going to Japan, and Beyond Academy made that a reality in the most incredible way. Their program strikes the perfect balance between meaningful work experience, personal growth, and unforgettable cultural immersion. From professional development and tailored support to weekend adventures, language practice, and local exploration, you’re constantly stepping outside your comfort zone while still feeling right at home. Beyond Academy truly delivers a life-changing journey. I would recommend it to friends and anyone who's interested in visiting Japan specifically.

I would definitely recommend spending summer break in Tokyo, it’s a very beautiful and clean city with amazing culture! The company I worked for was also very friendly and I was able to learn a lot throughout the internship period. Tokyo is a good place for working in the fashion industry as you can see a lot of people who love fashion on the streets. Beyond Academy helped a lot to get settled in and there were lots of social & cultural events every week! A lot of people here are beginners in learning Japanese but it would be nice to know some basic conversation to make things easier

Fantastic support. The guides here are really understanding and there for you. If I ever had to worry about something, they were there, but to be honest, they made it so I had no worries.

The events were nice and thoughtful. The people were super nice to hang out with and felt like family. I had no issues socially with the other members or community guides. The guides were especially super respectful of us and interactive throughout the trip. Especially Olivia, who was like super duper cool. She is memorable.

I had a really great experience with them. During my time there, I learned a lot from both the internship and the culture of the place. The work helped me grow and taught me new skills that I know will be useful in the future.

One of the best parts was the people I met. I made friends with many kind and interesting people from different backgrounds. The coordinators were very supportive and welcoming. They helped me get used to the city and made sure I felt included in the activities they organized for the group. This made it much easier for me to adapt and enjoy my time there.

Overall, I feel very grateful for this opportunity. It gave me the chance to grow professionally, learn about a new culture, and meet amazing people. It is an experience I will always remember.

I had a blast getting to make friends and explore Japan through Beyond Academy. I learned a lot at my job, and I got to experience living in a foreign country. The community that Beyond Academy cultivated was amazing, and I never felt like I was alone. Getting to do multiple trips and activities each week kept me active outside of work. They helped me find a job that suited my career goals, and I was able to gain new skills in the workplace. Do not worry about not knowing the native language! Beyond Academy helps with any issues you have.
