Absolute ROCKS!!!

Absolute made my summer in Hong Kong amazing. I made friends from all around the world and built connections with business people that I'd never thought I would meet. I can only say THANK YOU to Absolute for such a great summer.

I did a Marketing Internship with a Fashion E-Commerce company that had an awesome office with a view over the harbour. It was so amazing especially for someone who is brought up in a small town.

What made this program amazing? The people that you meet and the organization behind it. Absolute really walks the extra mile and cared for me. I'm incredibly thankful.

One of the best experience in my life!

I completed the Hong Kong program with Absolute internship last year and it was a great experience. The staff is exceptional! Before starting the program they would respond within 24 hours if I had a query. They helped me organize my visa and provided cleat pre departure instructions and information. They provided us with constant 24 hour support while we were in Hong Kong. They also organized amazing activities and a great weekend in Macau!
The dedication of the staff and the quality of my internship definitely contributed to making it one the best experiences in my life.

Absolute No.1 Amazing Experience Ever - Highly recommended!!!

I had the best time ever abroad with absolute internship. I was considering between studying abroad and an internship abroad and ended up doing an internship abroad.

Absolute was on top of everything (thanks so much Aurelie for all your lovely emails and help!!!) and really ensured that I was well-prepared as I'd never been to Asia in my life.

Hong Kong is an AMAZING city. I did a marketing internship with a tech company which was awesome. I'd highly recommend this program to anybody who wants to meet great people, be well taken care of, have fun and make great connections. The program events and trips organize are well planned and I loved the Lantau Island trip!!

I would really recommend this program to anybody who is looking into coming to Asia. Absolute rocks!!!

What would you improve about this program?
It's amazing!!

Absolute Crap!

I did the Absolute Internship Program in January. I must say that Absolute Internship is the most unprofessional/unorganized company ever. No, it's not a scam, but you do pay quite a lot of money for the poor quality of service. They promised many things but did not deliver. Where to start?

First, they nearly didn't get my working visa to me. and they even dared to say I can not participate in the program even after i paid them $4000. They have some contract thing saying that they wouldn't give back your money if end up not doing the internship for some reason. The person we liaised with for visa was quite rude.

On arrival day, A.I. promised to pick us up from the airport and take us back to our hotels if we arrive between 9am - 2.30pm. I got picked up, but one other intern who did arrive in the set time was told to make her own way to the hotel, simply because they were too lazy. The next day, we were supposed to have an orientation/information session with free breakfast! but that same guy told us it's cancelled. and even told us not to tell his superiors.

Luckily the program coordinator was a top bloke - a local hong kong student whom they hired to take us around hk for activities. However, some of the promised activities in the brochures just didn't happen. This sucked because it was one of the main reason why I signed up for this program. However, I still had an awesome time in Hong Kong.

The company they set me up with was cool. I gained lots of career insights from them. They even complained how unorganised Absolute Internship was - because they have sent interns to them in the past. Thanks to my internship company and Hong Kong being an amazing country; I had a great 1 month and nearly forgave Absolute Internship's poor performance. I highly don't recommend Absolute Internship - they are just a money-hungry company. I suggest finding your own overseas internship online.

Great Experience

I did the Absolute program in Hong Kong between my second and third year of university and was able to obtain academic credits towards my degree. It was a great experience that I will never forget.
It was my first time in Asia and I can surely say that Hong Kong is a place that everyone should visit.
Absolute matched me with an exciting company where I learned a lot.
In our group we all got along very well. I just wished I could have stayed a bit longer.
I definitely recommend the program to anyone looking for new and unique experience.

Unforgettable summer with absolute!

I had just the most UNFORGETTABLE summer in my life. Hong Kong was amazing. I did a Business Internship with large transportation company in Hong Kong that was from Europe with offices all around the world. I loved everything that was setup through the program such as all the program events, trips.. everything was well organized thanks for our lovely Program Coordinator Rebecca. I had never been to Asia before coming to Hong Kong but thanks to absolute I'm thinking of starting my career here after graduation.

Thanks for everything!

Time of your life

I joined the program in Hong Kong in June and this was one of the best decision I ever made! I interned in finance for a Taiwanese bank, my boss was the most inspiring person I ever met and I hope to keep him as a lifetime mentor.
Life in Hong Kong was awesome. Apartments were great, we all lived together in Central in a serviced type hotel.
The highlight was definitely the weekend trips included in the program but also the community Absolute built for us. I definitely recommend the program.

Fantastic time in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship

Loved my time in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship! I had never been to Asia before so this was my first time overseas. The tremendous help, support from the day I enrolled was something that I really appreciated with Absolute. The organization is extremely helpful and personable making you feel important which I really liked.

The program was great in Hong Kong, you meet people from all around the world. The housing is top notch and clean, so much bigger than my dorm here in the US. It's also in the city center which really helps.

I did a Marketing Internship for one month with a Swedish multinational company. The internship, the housing, support and the friends that you make is the best with Absolute. The really take the time to make it wonderful for you abroad.

I'd recommend this program to everyone!! Thank you Absolute!!
