Beyond Academy Avaliações 

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. 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!

The community I got lucky enough to meet really made the experience! I had an amazing coordinator who I became very close with! The internship I got was an amazing learning experience and I ended up getting a job from it! Overall the culture in Barcelona is amazing and I fell in love with it! Truly a great learning experience and overall a very fun trip!!

I’d like to give a huge thanks to Beyond Academy for giving people such an amazing opportunity to study/work abroad in dream locations and really help to broaden perspectives.
I’m so glad I got to work with Beyond because they really put their all into welcoming me into a totally different world safely. They also helped land me an internship where I got to learn so much about the industry and dive even deeper into it.
Least to say, everything went smoothly and I’d even say that amazing is an understatement for this entire experience.

The program was great and I had a lot of fun during my 6 weeks stay. The activities were well organised and good mix of a lot of fun and an insight into the culture. They took great care helping me find the right company for my wants and interests and I was so happy with the company and the experience they provided me with.

Entering Beyond Academy, I felt a bit apprehensive. However, I can confidently say that it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Beyond Academy not only helped me forge new friendships and connections, but also provided me with invaluable experiences. While I believe my specific program could have benefited from a stronger scientific focus rather than a marketing one, I still found my time here to be extremely worthwhile. Also, Brooklyn (The area coordinator) is amazing. For this being the first year that Beyond Academy has been an Amsterdam, I would consider it a success.

I went to Seoul for a marketing internship, which was my first choice industry. Like a lot of people before me have stated, for Seoul at least, it’s more of a great program for the people rather than a leveling up professional experience. I really, really enjoyed my time. I was lonely only once, and that was on my first night. Literally the next day I was introduced to so many people, and I had an incredible time. Professionally, it’s what you make of it. You have to be realistic, if you barely speak the language you are not going to go far (unless you do fashion or photography), but most interns went on company trips and conventions so there was still stuff to be gained. I think if you’re deciding on either a work abroad or study abroad, do work. While you are doing, like, 6-8 hrs of monotonous work (haha…), I was lucky and got an amazing work experience with my colleagues who tried really hard to make sure I was included and were always introducing me to new things about Korea. I would NOT have gotten that with yonsei’s international summer school. This is a great networking opportunity and also showcases how flexible you are- the independence gained is also a huge component. It’s an awesome internship experience all around, and I highly recommend it! It is what you make of it!

I had a great experience in New York with beyond academy. I really enjoyed getting to work at a law office and have hands on experience in the field. The coordinators were super helpful and nice and I really enjoyed all the events. I would love to have an opportunity like this again and I’m really glad I did it!

I highly recommend Beyond if you’re looking not only to gain work experience in your field of study but also to experience a new city! During my two-month internship in London, I gained significant insights into my career path, met many wonderful people, and was really able to immerse myself in the London experience . I emerged from the experience much more confident and independent, with memories that will definitely last a lifetime.

Beyond is great at organising events and is extremely helpful when you reach out to the team with any concerns or queries.

However, keep in mind that most of the internships are unpaid, so budget accordingly. Additionally, I suggest finding accommodation close to your internship, especially in a larger city, as commuting can be time-consuming.

I had a great time in Amsterdam through Beyond Academy. They planned a bunch of different activities each week and Brooklyn was super nice and funny.

Brooklyn was amazing at getting everyone settled and welcome. The events she planned were so much fun and brought people together quickly.

Beyond Academy is an excellent organization for gaining experience in your field of study while exploring new parts of the world.During my two-month stay in London, I grew more independent, gained clarity about my future career path, and where I can see myself living. I made valuable connections and discovered many exciting places, including Cambridge, the shopping streets, vibrant markets, parks, delicious bakeries, and world-class theaters and museums. I loved my time in London, and Beyond Academy made it easy to settle into a new home for the summer. I would also say that the Beyond team communicates well with the interns. One thing I would say is that I did have to travel quite far from my internship, and if I did this experience again, I would try and find my own accommodations.

I think it was really the people that made this experience special and valuable to me. I was placed in my second choice of desired industry, but I still intended to make the most of it. I learnt that it wasn’t really for me, and so may not add too much to my career experience. But I think meeting different people (other interns and the Seoul community team) helped me make long lasting friends from around the world that are very valuable. The career workshops as part of the Beyond Academy program were able to make up some parts that the internship couldn’t. Nonetheless, I would say the program is fun, insightful, and a once in a lifetime experience.

I had a great experience with Beyond Academy in Amsterdam! I enjoyed the internship they helped me find, and I liked the people I met. My group leader (Brooklyn) was also very helpful. She was great at responding, gave some great suggestions for around Amsterdam, and was super fun to be around!

I submitted my resume online and they reached out to do an online interview, saying that they will discuss my goals, expectations and get to know me better. Then came the zoom interview, and the only question the interviewer asked me was if I was interested in another location. She said that I didn’t meet the requirements for the location I selected. They could have asked me that by email since they had my resume, instead of wasting my precious time! How unprofessional!! I have never met such self-oriented business.

I had the best time, the Beyond Academy team is lovely, NYC is everything I've ever dreamed of, and I loved my internship so much!! I met the most amazing people, I learned so much, and I feel like a whole new person fr - definitely recommend!!!!

Career Progression + Amazing People + Being Abroad = best decision ever

I was really happy with my experience at Beyond. When my initial internship didn't turn out the way I expected, I was able to work with the team at Beyond and my intern company to find a solution that satisfied everyone. I was happy that the Beyond staff worked so hard to make sure I was satisfied with my internship experience. In the end, I found not only a better company to continue my internship but also a permanent working position within that company after my internship ended. I was able to meet really cool people and had some great experiences through this program as well. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in trying an internship experience here in Seoul, as long as you come with the right mindset. Remember the Korean working environment is probably much different than what you are used to. So if you are a flexible type of person and think you can handle it, give it a try.

I have had one of the most amazing and memorable experiences here in Seoul with Beyond Academy. Not only do you get a fulfilling internship experience, but the events they’re organise and the community coordinators are the best bits!! They make you feel at home and the interns and coordinators become a little family!! I really recommend this experience, as it is an amazing way to grow as a person while also building an amazing opportunity to write on your CV. I would 100% consider doing another internship with Beyond!

Work during the day but immerse yourself in the culture at night. Meet new people and travel across Seoul with ease. Even walking alone I felt safe no matter the distance. I had the full support of the staff 24/7 and they gave me advice, helped me adjust, and even helped me practice my Korean. It was a great time spent in Seoul that made me not want to leave. I was given the tools necessary to get around and felt prepared to explore on my own. I got to meet people from around the world, make new Korean friends, try so many delicious foods, and practice my Korean.

I went through Beyond Academy Internship Program to get an an internship in London in 2022 and it
has been so far the best experience in my life! Could not expected better! The location of the accommodation was perfect: a very central and dynamic area! At the beginning I had a little problem with my accommodation but the Beyond Academy team has been very responsive. In only few days I was in a better accommodation in the same building. The whole team is very caring and in case of a problem, they will fix it in a very short time. My internship was very interesting and in a very great area also. The trips organized by Beyond were well chosen; there were different styles of trips: cultural, food, drinks, excursions, visits of London monuments... For all tastes!
Thank you Beyond for this experience, I am grateful to you!

During my internship in Seoul, I learned so much and had such a wonderful time. I was able to meet a lot of interesting people in my industry who I never would have had the chance to meet otherwise, so the networking chances were fantastic. The friendships I developed with the other interns were the icing on the cake, and it was an amazing experience getting to know so many people from different countries. The coordinators are really kind and helpful, and also fun! The weekly events organised for us were fantastic, and they made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and educational. The office environment was not only friendly, but also entertaining and very generous. This was my first trip to South Korea, so I wanted to make sure I could enter and stay in the country without any problems as I don't even speak the language. Beyond Academy ensured that I could do all of that prepared to answer any question I had. My internship was the best possible experience.
