I had a fantastic experience with AIP

I had a fantastic experience with AIP throughout my internship in Seoul. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly communicative and always available to assist with any questions or concerns. The placement they arranged provided me with valuable learning opportunities, and I built a great relationship with my boss.

The accommodations were comfortable and well-managed, and my landlord was very helpful, making my stay in Seoul even more enjoyable. AIP's support made the entire process smooth, and I truly appreciate their dedication to ensuring a positive experience.

I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking for an internship abroad. Their professionalism, excellent communication, and constant availability made this an unforgettable opportunity.

I had an amazing experience with AIP during my internship in South Korea. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication, making the entire journey seamless and memorable. Choosing to embark on an overseas internship can be a daunting decision, but with AIP's unwavering support, it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.

The initial process of applying and preparing for the internship was straightforward, thanks to AIP's guidance. They took the time to understand my goals and preferences, helping to match me with an internship that aligned with my career aspirations. Their step-by-step approach made everything feel manageable, even when navigating the complexities of working abroad. From visa applications to pre-departure briefings, they ensured that I felt fully prepared before leaving for South Korea.

Once I arrived, the level of support continued to impress me. The AIP team went above and beyond to ensure that I settled in comfortably and felt at home in a new environment. They provided detailed information about local culture, transportation, and even tips for adapting to life in Korea. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, they were always just a message or call away. It was reassuring to know that I could rely on them for anything, whether it was related to work or adjusting to life in a foreign country.

The internship itself was an incredible opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. AIP connected me with a company that offered meaningful projects and responsibilities, allowing me to develop valuable skills while gaining real-world experience. Beyond the professional aspects, living and working in South Korea gave me a chance to immerse myself in a vibrant and dynamic culture. From exploring bustling cities like Seoul to enjoying traditional Korean cuisine and festivals, every moment was enriching.

One of the standout aspects of AIP’s service was their continued involvement throughout my stay. They regularly checked in to ensure that everything was going smoothly and were quick to address any concerns. This level of care truly set them apart and made me feel like I wasn’t just another client but someone whose experience genuinely mattered to them.

Reflecting on my time in South Korea, I am incredibly grateful to AIP for making it all possible. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine passion for creating positive experiences for their clients made a significant difference. The connections I made, the skills I gained, and the memories I created during this internship are things I will cherish for a lifetime.

If you are considering an overseas internship, I cannot recommend AIP enough. They take the stress out of the process and provide unmatched support, allowing you to focus on making the most of your experience. Whether you're looking to advance your career or simply broaden your horizons, AIP is the perfect partner to help you achieve your goals.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
learning the subways was the most nerve-racking moment because they are so different from any other subway i've ever been on. And they the way to over come it was just to do it until you are ok with it.

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.

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
