Seoul Internships with Beyond Academy

The Beyond Academy staff and locals were absolutely amazing! They always responded to messages quickly and planned some amazing events for us all to do. They supplied some amazing support and helped us with whatever issues we were having. My only slight issue was that the company I was placed with didn’t fully meet my expectations, but that was not entirely Beyond Academy’s fault. All in all, I would definitely recommend this programme for anyone looking to get some work experience and travel and the same time or are looking to work abroad in the future.

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

I had a lot of fun during my internship experience! The coordinators were very friendly and helpful throughout my time in Seoul! I think new people should know to be very specific in what they want from this program, including the industry and type of company they want to work at! But the social experience led me to meet a lot of friendly and cool people, and the community was always trying to give us different cultural experiences each Thurs/Sun! All in all, it was a fun experience and I enjoyed the company I interned at but being very adaptable will help you a lot for this program!

I joined the Seoul Internship and was really impressed by how well-organized and supportive the Seoul Community Support team was. They were easy to contact and created fun and interesting events for us to attend during the internship and helped us understand 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 as 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!

I found that going overseas to do an internship with the Beyond Academy agency was the best decision. They provided me with support whilst I was there in my work and social life, providing me with rare experiences, I don’t think I would have had otherwise. They helped me with any problems to do with accommodation and provided insight into the best things to do in Sydney. They took our group of interns on big trips to the Blue Mountains and a show at the Opera house and were just really amazing support to have when staying in a new country.

I’d wanted to travel to South Korea for a very long time but was always too nervous to go by myself. As a recent graduate that is looking to begin my career in my chosen industry but also take some time for myself to travel, Beyond Academy provided the perfect opportunity for me to not only find work experience in another country and experience work culture there, but visit my dream destination and be surrounded by kind and helpful people. I really recommend this program to solo travellers or people wanting experience working in other countries but aren’t a quite sure how to do it! Beyond Academy also plans lots of events and group activities so that even though you’re working, you still feel like you have seen all the sights and done lots of fun things during your internship! It is also a great way to make friends and find a warm community of people to make your stay much more enjoyable!

My time at Beyond Academy has been one of the best I've had so far! I was in Seoul for a little over two months and it was great! The people from Beyond were so nice and it felt like they were there for us 24/7. We also did things together besides the events and in my case I was able to make some great new friends!

My internship was a huge success and I was able to make a huge leap forward in my career. I did an internship as a fashion designer and made some lovely new contacts that will be really helpful in the future. In addition to the internship, it was also possible for me to visit my old internship place in Paris at a trade fair! I can only recommend Beyond Academy to anyone who is open to something new and wants to pursue a career abroad because it really is a huge springboard!

This summer I got to intern as a Marketing intern in Seoul. It was an unforgettable experience. A highlight of the program is meeting a diverse group of people from around the world. The events organised by Beyond Academy helped form friendships and getting to know the other interns. You also get to experience the culture of Seoul through the events, explore the city and get to try new foods.

If you haven't been to Seoul before, this program definitely helps you settling in a new city and experiencing the Korean culture. You will also get to visit a lot of the touristic spots. However, if you have already been in Korea before some events might not be as exciting but it's a good opportunity to bond with the other interns.

I gained a lot of experience through my internship. I felt like I was valued in the company and given enough responsibility. I was able to assist in marketing campaigns, attend meetings and even organise events.

Looking back, I believe this internship program helped me grow personally and professionally.
