South Korea experience 10/10

My experience with AIP exceeded expectations. Everything ran smoothly, and they walked me through every step of the process, helping me secure a great internship that matched my goals. My main communication was with Kate, who was extremely supportive and efficient. When I had issues with my first accommodation, she quickly resolved it and arranged a new one that suited me perfectly. Communication was always quick and professional, and the team at AIP was kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to helping me succeed.

Best internship I could’ve wished for!

My internship program with AIP was a truly great experience. From the very beginning, everything went smoothly; the application process was simple and I felt supported at every stage. Finding my internship happened quickly which made it easier to plan everything well in advance. After arrival in my destination country, everything was equally uncomplicated. Any issues I had were quickly addressed and solved by AIP staff. During my internship, I gained invaluable experiences both in the professional field as well as my personal life. These experiences helped me grow as a person and will surely help me achieve my future career goals as well. I am eternally grateful for having had the privilege of attending this program <3

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Anything feet! Chicken feet, pig hooves - you name it, the Koreans will have it!
Pros
  • New friends
  • Great working experience

First Abroad Internship

I partnered with AIP through my university to undertake an architecture internship in South Korea. The team are great and even organised airport pickup and drop-off, as well as a group dinner in Korea.

The interview process was pushing close before the time of flight and the non refundable deposit were a little overwhelming but other than that the interview process was smooth and you are basically guaranteed an internship so you shouldn’t really stress at all.

They take great care into finding suitable host companies and accomodation to ensure you have a great experience :)

Highly recommend

Highly recommend AIP to anyone looking to experience another city within their professional internship. I’ve spent 6 weeks in Seoul, and the experience has been unforgettable, both personally and professionally. As a first time traveler, it was so convenient to have the staff assist me throughout the entire process, and it gave me peace of mind to know I had assistance available whenever I needed. It has been an invaluable professional experience and such a unique and valuable experience for my professional development.Highly recommend.

Internship in Seoul

AIP helped me to secure a 3 months internship in Seoul, South Korea and it has been a wonderful experience. As a university student wanting to pursue an internship abroad, AIP was the best option for practicality and to save precious time. My accommodation was clean and well located. Moving in was straight forward. The staff (Evie, Kate and Herlyn) were very helpful and accessible along the way. They made sure that I had everything I needed and checked up on me from time to time. Highly recommend !

South Korea Internship

Overall, I had a great experience both with AIP and the country itself. Before coming to Korea, all of the people at the agency were supportive and they constantly kept in touch with me. The accommodation was clean and it was located fairly close to the office. I felt very welcomed at the company, everyone was friendly and I always was treated respectfully.
South Korea as a whole was a very nice country. People were respectful, the transportation was cheap and efficient, and the food was tasty.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Manta ray beak.
People rarely eat it in Korea, but it's still a dish they serve in some restaurants. While stinky, it wasn't that bad as a whole flavor-wise.
Pros
  • Efficient transportation system
  • Safe streets
  • Tasty food
Cons
  • People cough and sneeze without covering their mouths
  • Weather can be either super warm or very cold
  • Seoul can be a bit expensive

Internship in South Korea

I really enjoy and think that it was worth it deciding to do the internship with AIP through the University program. The staff from AIP, the workplace, CEO and my colleagues everyone are very helpful and always answer my questions when I needed. It was incredible that I have a chance to learn new cultures, try new food and especially I was so lucky to have a very kind CEO and colleagues who bought me a lot of food and drink during the time. They also bought me a tour in their city so I have a chance to spend time with my colleagues.

What was your funniest moment?
When I have a chance travelling around Goyang city not just in Seoul
Pros
  • Improve skills
  • Build up resume
  • Learning cultures and languages
Cons
  • Not have many chance to travel around
  • No chance to meet up with other interns

Seoul Creative Internship

Spent 6 weeks in Seoul, and I had no major issues with living conditions and host company. My workplace was a bit out of central Seoul and AIP was really good in finding an accommodation located in between that was close to the station and very conveniently next to 7/11 and lots of food options.

AIP was also very attentive and regularly checked up on me to see if everything was going well.

Really loved the host company I was sent to, a true testament of the connections AIP has. Definitely recommend.
