Program Reviews

Seoul is a perfect city to live in for a while because it gives you the opportunity to experience something completely different and full of new experiences. When I started my experience in Seoul with Beyond, from the very first moment, the group of coordinators was the best helping me in every possible way to make our experience as good as possible by organizing many interesting and fun activities.

Regarding the internship itself, I have to say that you have to be a bit specific when choosing what you want to work in and make sure that the company is the right one and that you think you will learn. In my case, I had to change companies because I wasn't working exactly what I wanted, but when I moved to the second company, my work experience improved considerably.

I am glad I chose Beyond Academy for my internship in Tokyo, the staff were very helpful with any questions that I had leading up to the experience, and the community events during the program were both educational and fun. Through the housing accommodation, I was able to make many great friends who were also participating in Beyond Academy, and the experience of living in Tokyo was all around amazing! The community coordinators were able to assist us with any questions that we had and made the overall experience very fun!

I had a lot of fun during my internship experience! The coordinators were very friendly and helpful throughout my time in Seoul! I think new people should know to be very specific in what they want from this program, including the industry and type of company they want to work at! But the social experience led me to meet a lot of friendly and cool people, and the community was always trying to give us different cultural experiences each Thurs/Sun! All in all, it was a fun experience and I enjoyed the company I interned at but being very adaptable will help you a lot for this program!

I joined the Seoul Internship and was really impressed by how well-organized and supportive the Seoul Community Support team was. They were easy to contact and created fun and interesting events for us to attend during the internship and helped us understand different cultural cues and nuances. They are a separate team from the internship placement team and are living and working in Seoul.

I loved Seoul, it was a great city to experience as someone who 'worked there' rather than as a tourist.

In terms of the internship placement team, I would recommend applicants are extremely clear about the placement experience they want to ensure you are placed on an internship you would actually find enjoyable. Otherwise, you may be placed on something you may not have expected that isn't really what you want to do!

My internship in Barcelona was an unforgettable journey of growth. The program provided invaluable hands-on learning, and the vibrant city added so much inspiration. Meeting Leticia, our incredible community leader, was a highlight—her unwavering support and guidance made the experience even more enriching. The connections I built with fellow interns were priceless, and the cultural immersion was unforgettable and a part that I will cherish. I highly recommend this program for anyone seeking a creative and nurturing environment.

I found that going overseas to do an internship with the Beyond Academy agency was the best decision. They provided me with support whilst I was there in my work and social life, providing me with rare experiences, I don’t think I would have had otherwise. They helped me with any problems to do with accommodation and provided insight into the best things to do in Sydney. They took our group of interns on big trips to the Blue Mountains and a show at the Opera house and were just really amazing support to have when staying in a new country.

Taking a risk to live in a foreign country by yourself can have many challenges, one of them being making connections. Beyond Academy gave me an opportunity to meet friends with whom I developed extremely meaningful relationships, and that was a helpful foundation to remain in a comfortable headspace to take advantage of all the guidance Beyond Academy offered me while I was in Tokyo. If I had the opportunity to participate in the Beyond Academy program again, I would without a doubt, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in global studies.

My 4-months stay in Tokyo was a wonderful experience. Beyond Academy managed to find me opportunities in the Fintech sector, even though I was only on my 2nd year of my bachelor. Everything is well done to make us comfortable. A lot and diverse activities are offered. For example : a Fuji trip, karaoke, kimono rental and tea ceremony, Japanese restaurant, and so on. The Tokyo Community Team was also very kind and very friendly, and were always here for your help! It is one of my best experience. You feel very safe and never lonely. I recommend it a lot.

My time in Tokyo with Beyond Academy was the best 6 weeks of my life so far. From the great internship I was assigned to the other interns I have made lifelong friends with, my time with BA was incredible from start to finish. The events put on by the program are a great way to see the city you're living in, but there is plenty of time to also explore on your own. The internship is also super helpful in contributing to professional development. The coordinators were super helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I can't recommend an internship with Beyond Academy enough.

I had the incredible opportunity to spend 10 weeks in Sydney with Beyond Academy, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, the program exceeded my expectations in every way. Even before the program began, the communication with the Beyond Academy team was excellent. They provided invaluable support with my visa application and ensured the process was smooth and stress-free.

The twice-weekly events were absolute highlights—ranging from cultural experiences to social gatherings, they were the perfect way to meet people and immerse myself in Sydney life. Throughout the program, I always felt supported and cared for. The team was always available if I had questions or needed assistance

I am so happy that I had the opportunity through Beyond Academy to live in Sydney and get to know the life down under. So thank you again for this great time. I'll never forget it!
