Program Reviews

The Tokyo Program was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I met people and took part in activities that I would’ve otherwise never done, and the Beyond team were so helpful the entire time. From the moment you sign up until the day you leave Tokyo the team are on hand to help you with any worries or issues you may have, all while providing wonderful experiences for you to enjoy with others on the program. There were a great variety of events, all of which I loved doing. I couldn't recommend Beyond Academy enough to anyone who wants to see the sights of Tokyo while also getting a unique internship experience.

The Beyond Academy Tokyo program is an incredible program I'd recommend to anyone who's interested. From the moment you sign up to the day you leave Japan, they are so helpful and kind, and I think where they especially shine is with the local team. The local help team has been absolutely amazing throughout my whole time in Japan, and I honestly could not have asked for them to be any better.

Beyond Academy also organises a huge number of events for interns to attend, with there usually being one on Thursday evenings and Sunday daytimes. These events are super useful for getting integrated in Tokyo, as well as getting to know your fellow interns better. Some of the events organised during my time here were a day trip to mount fuji, an afternoon in the historic area of asakusa wearing kimonos, a tour of different natural disasters and how to deal with them, held by the Tokyo fire department, and many more.

All in all, this is a wonderful program, that I wholeheartedly support, and I'm so glad I chose to do it, having made many friends and great experiences to remember it by. I 100% recommend anyone considering it to give it a try.

If you're considering doing an internship through Beyond Academy, I'd say do not hesitate! Although the onboarding process was a bit shaky and lacked clarity, BA matched me with an amazing company in Tokyo. Words cannot describe how much I loved working with my boss and I'm so grateful for the doors of opportunity and relationships that have opened through it. Not to mention, the BA staff is stellar. They go above and beyond for the interns, and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay and adjusting. I'm so excited to go back and see them again!

All I can say is Wow! This was not my first time in Japan, I went in 2019 with another Internship program at the time, and and to put it mildly the experience left somethings to be desired. However I decided to take another chance and found out about Beyond Academy. I'm glad I made the choice. The team, from onboarding to Finance, and then the support staff and Coordinators you meet in Japan, all went above and beyond to ensure and everything is up to par, and should you need help they are never a moments message away. Never in my dreams did I expect to go to Mount Fuji two days before my birthday! The events that they plan for the group range from exciting trips to well known and hidden secrets of Japan. For Dinners or lunches the Coordinators will work with whatever food conditions you have and plan accordingly. I'd like to thank the staff - Alize, Stephanie and Fristy - for their hard word and dedication. 11/10 Would recommend to anyone whose is visiting Japan for the first time, or if you want to plan another experience for yourself!

The Beyond Academy internship abroad program in Seoul was a transformative experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. One of my favorite parts of this program was the amazing cultural experience. The program organizers went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and supported in navigating both the workplace and the vibrant city of Seoul. My internship placement was chosen to align with my career goals and academic background and also helped me develop valuable skills for my future career. From exploring historical sites to enjoying traditional Korean performances, every outing was an amazing experience for me.

My time abroad was a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone forced me to confront challenges and adapt to unfamiliar environments, fostering resilience and self-reliance. Whether it was navigating public transportation in a bustling city, each obstacle became an opportunity for growth. To future interns, embrace uncertainty and be open to new experiences and perspectives. Flexibility is key when navigating unfamiliar environments, and being adaptable will help you overcome challenges and make the most of unexpected opportunities.

This program was an unforgettable experience filled with professional growth and lifelong memories. From working in a dynamic environment to exploring iconic landmarks, every moment was enriching. Despite the challenges of navigating a new city, the rewards of interning in London outweighed any drawbacks.

Looking back on my time interning abroad in London, I can boldly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This program did not only enhance my skills but it also gave me memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Overall, my experience was good. I was in Barcelona for 3 months doing an internship in the fashion industry. The internship as a whole was worth while, but my experience with Beyond Academy was a bit strange being the only intern for my first 2 and a half months there. This meant not having immediate friends upon arrival. Other than that I had a great 3 months. Beyond Academy also has weekly events which included museum tours, excursions all through the city and also dinners at typical Spanish restaurants.

I heard once before that you have to experience moving to a high density area for a prolonged period of time at least once in your life, especially in your early twenties. I didn't think much of it at first but now I would say the exact same thing. You learn so much about yourself and you meet such interesting people when you're in a foreign place. For me, Beyond Academy provides a cushion to make experiences like these less daunting with their amazing team and thorough background checks on their partner companies (I fell in love with mine <3). They make you feel taken care of and they make sure that you make the most out of your program.

Take this as your sign to go for it!!!!!

The program was a remarkable journey that significantly contributed to my professional growth and skill development. I did my internship at a charity for 6 months. This internship has undeniably played a pivotal role in my professional and personal development. The experience throughout the program has been wonderful. Not just the help received with the internship but also the community events organised. It allowed me to make new friends and network with other interns. I sincerely thank the Beyond Academy team for offering such a rewarding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking a comprehensive and enriching internship experience.
