Beyond Academy Reviews 

The community is very supportive and they made sure my intership match my career goals. Because of this, I feel like I have grown as a professional and as a person, Japan gave me experiences that will forever live with me as life lessons. I totally recommend!

The overall experience was incredible. Living and working abroad caused me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. The internship itself self was ok with being able to work in my field but not really growing in it, just gaining experience. Other than that the whole experience was amazing and I am sad to go 🥲

I recently spent 4 months with Beyond Academy in Tokyo and can genuinely say it was an amazing experience. The community was lovely, and all the coordinators were so willing to be helpful too. I chose an amazing time to visit too, March to June. It gave me a lovely experience of being able to see the cherry blossoms and experience pretty much all the seasons except autumn there. Highly recommend! Say hi to the coordinators for me :)

Wonderful experience with Beyond Academy. Luiza and Isabel are amazing at their jobs and are a big reason why the experience was so amazing. Isabel specifically puts so much effort into the activities for us interns and getting to know us on a personal level. I felt like I had gained a big sister in a new city, something anyone would appreciate. I enjoyed all it the activities and trips, as well as all the different foods I was able to try. The other interns were wonderful, and a lot of them I think will be friends of mine for life. I feel the work experience I got was also amazing, gaining a lot of responsibility in just the short 6 weeks. I would recommend anybody to do a Beyond Academy program in Barcelona!

Very nice experience! The local support coordinators were great, and Seoul is a city I know and love, so it was a pleasure to be back here.

The program provides you with a very nice balance of working, exploring/enjoying free time and socializing. The weeks went by too quickly!

The internship itself maybe wasn’t a perfect match for my career goals, but it definitely provided me with skills that are transferrable! Overall I would say it was well worth it.

My experience in Seoul with Beyond Academy was unforgettable. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and always there when needed. It truly felt like joining a global family – the community was vibrant, welcoming, and full of amazing people.

The internship exceeded all expectations. I was given real responsibilities, felt appreciated by my team, and gained hands-on experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. It was inspiring and gave me a clearer vision for my future.

This program doesn’t just look good on a resume – it transforms you. If you're thinking about it, don’t hesitate. 10/10.

I had a great experience with Beyond Academy in Barcelona. The community team went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and our schedules were accommodated. The living accommodations allowed us to meet people from all around the world and build strong and meaningful connections. The city of Barcelona is amazing in general, and I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to have such an incredible experience there. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their horizons and grow personally and professionally.

Program was a great growing experience. But if you come expecting to have be in vacation mode 24/7 then i strongly recommend you do a study abroad program or just go on vacation.

I actually hadnt been a fan of the company I was interning for at first but I decided to challenge myself and stick with it to see how it goes. I had initally wanted an HR position but instead I got a sales role. And while I don't think Sales will ever be the life of my life I do think it was an interesting experience.

The other interns were kinda young and godawful and living in the sharehouse with children that didnt know how to clean up after themselves was literally the worst.

The coordinators were cool and very helpful. They were very helpful and great to hang out with.
The share house was very mid, not handicap accessible but I didnt need that until the very last week of my trip :D.

The property managers were slow to respond and slower to help.

Overall great experience. There are some bumps but that is a normal part of life.

I did an 8-week internship in London and the London community team at Beyond were amazing! They were always so happy to help me with any advice I needed about my internship, housing, or even just life in London. I felt so comfortable talking to all of them, like I was talking to a friend, every time!
There was always so much to do and so much on offer from Beyond. So many options for events, but never any pressure to do all of them, you could easily pick and choose which social events you wanted to go to! And every one I went to was so much fun, and I met so many other interns from around the world who I am still in contact with now!

I had an amazing experience Beyond Academy staff located in Seoul. The staff were always so friendly, supportive, and welcoming. Everything was always organized, and if anything was unclear, they would clarify as soon as possible. The events were always so much fun, and the staff always worked with you and were super flexible about your schedule. They are lastly very understanding if you're exhausted and can't make the event. Overall, my experience with them was perfect and made my time in Seoul truly unforgettable.

Beyond Academy’s tailored internship program was spot on—well organized and smooth from the start. The instructions upon arrival were clear and super helpful, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the experience without stress. The community they’ve built is fun, welcoming, and supportive—always there if you need anything. As for my company, I couldn’t have asked for better; it was truly a 10/10 experience. Highly recommended!

The beyond academy staff and locals were absolutely amazing! They always responded to messages quickly and helped you with any issues we had regardless of whether or not it was to do with the programme. The events that were planned were really fun and a nice mix of touristy and non-touristy events.

I just got back from my 8 week program with Beyond academy Tokyo and I wish I opted for a longer program. The Tokyo community was very supportive and easy going. The events planned were always so much fun, they were quick with securing an interview for me aswell! I would definitely do this again if I could !

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 has been the best helping me in every possible way to make our experience as good as possible by organising 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 in exactly what I wanted, but when I moved to the second company, my work experience improved considerably.

Beyond Academy is probably the best experience of my life. Being able to travel and experience another country while learning essential things within my work force. Besides the internship I did, the community within beyond academy is what I think made this whole experience so smooth and enjoyable. The community leads made sure I was taken care of and having fun at all times. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is ready for an adventure! Best time ever!!!

My internship experience was very fun and the community coordinators were very helpful with any questions I had during the internship. The events that they held were very fun and I wish that there were more trips planned!

Really fun experience! I think if you are going for a cultural and social experience it's well worth the friendships I made and the places I got to see! The coordinators were very helpful and friendly, they did their best to help out in any way they could and made me feel very welcomed in the program. I will have to be honest, for future participants, you really need to be very specific in what you want from this program (including industry, type of company, internship experience, etc.)! I really ended up enjoying my experience at my company, however it was definitely not what I was picturing at first when I got the offer. Being adaptable will definitely help out a lot for this program, but make sure it's something you're willing to do! All in all, it's an experience I will remember and I made a lot of good connections from it!

I joined the Seoul Internship and was really impressed by how well organised and supportive the Seoul Community Support team were. They were easy to contact and created fun and interesting events for us to attend during the internship and helped us with understanding 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 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! This is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5/5 stars!

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 BA offered me while I was in Tokyo.

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. 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. I recommend it a lot.
