Beyond academy

This program has been the best experience of my life. The staff was very communicative and always made sure eveyone in the program was taken care of. The search for my internship was super easy and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone! This program is good for anyone wanting to mix the experience of traveling and work life in one situation. Not only was I able to find my path in my career but I was also able to explore a new place with new people. I think anyone who has even had a thought about working overseas this is the program for you!

Pros
  • Great space to stay
  • Events planned all the time
  • Great location

A valuable experience

The reason that I applied for this programme was to know whether I would be able to work in this country. And I saw the possibility.

English is not my first language, so I was always afraid of using it. However, during the programme, I had a lot of opportunities to practice and improve my English knowledge. Now I feel confident and ready to have meaningful relationships with other people using the language.

It was not only about the language; it was also good to learn the work culture in the UK. I was working for a marketing company, and it came to my mind that communication is very important. I saw many people giving feedback to each other relentlessly to get to the best result. It also helped me learn how to work as a team, and I believe this is something you wouldn't get to learn when you are a student and often just write essays stuck in your room all day long.

London is a multicultural city. It was such an opportunity for me to get used to various regional accents and experience many different cultures. You would get all sort of Indian, Korean, Chinese, English, and other types of foods, and surprisingly they are authentic. During the programme, I was also able to meet a lot of people from different countries. We had community events twice a week from Beyond Academy, and it was interesting enough for me to meet people from India, Nigeria, America, etc.

London has a lot of things to see and experience. Many attractions are located in Central London altogether, so it was easy for me to look around the area and visit them. Although the hustle and bustle of the city, there were always new things coming up whenever I entered in a different area, which kept me enjoyable and excited.

I would like to give thanks to the team of Beyond Academy for giving me such a valuable experience. I believe that people have to see and experience as much as possible, especially when they are young. Hope they keep up the good work.

Pros
  • You can easily get all different types of food from different countries
  • And meet many people from different cultures
Cons
  • Your accommodation might not be so close to your workplace
  • Sometimes you'd feel overwhelmed because of the busy area and crowded places in the city

Beyond Academy London 2023

I enjoyed my time in london with beyond academy and Jet Media Network as a marketing intern! It was a great experience and I even got to go to fun content shoots with celebrities in the sports industry. My office was soo welcoming and I always felt like I had something to do and was appreciated! I love London and I now decided to come back to study my master's soon! The beyond staff were so caring and welcoming and made moving to London alone such a breeze for me! Olivia was awesome and I hope to hangout with her again upon returning to London. This experience was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Pros
  • Location
  • Work
  • People
Cons
  • No AC (its just a London thing)

Excellent experience

This was one of the best and most memorable times of my life! It was great to have support in not only finding the perfect internship, but an accommodation a short tube ride away from central London. The event coordinators/leaders did a great job at providing the best possible London experience. They planned very fun events that took place weekly, including booking a very nice food tour. Out of all the similar programs I looked into, Beyond Academy is definitely the one that gives the most for what you pay. If your planning on going abroad, I can’t recommend Beyond Academy enough!

Beyond Academy - London Program

The program held multiple events that allowed me and the other interns to get to know each other and the city's culture. We did a food tour, a trip to Cambridge, and saw a show. We also had multiple dinners and drinks where we explored the different foods London has to offer. Before arriving in London, we were walked through the steps on how to apply for our visas. Without this guidance, I definitely would have been lost and unable to navigate an internship in a foreign country. They were able to connect me with London based companies.

Beyond Academy - A Program that Paves the Way for a Better Future!

Beyond Academy has proven to be an incredible work-abroad program! I had the time of my life for six weeks this past summer! I got to return to the greatest city in the world, London! As someone who's been to the city before, I was happy to be back and explore places I haven't visited before! They placed me with a beautiful company called Fourth Monkey. They are an actor training academy and repertory theatre. I was able to gain further experience as I continued my career endeavors. With that, I also enjoyed the events that Beyond hosted each week! It gave me the chance to meet and mingle with other interns.
Some of whom became close friends! Now, there were a couple of things I felt could be future improvement opportunities. The first thing is housing. Now, where I stayed was nice, but where it was located was the issue. It was located almost an hour away from where I worked, so I had to take drastic measures so that I could get to my work placement on time. I think that can be fixed, just so that there are no travel issues. Also, I was unaware that transportation to the airport at the end of my internship was not provided. I feel that can be an inconvenience to some. I did not have a problem on my end, but I think it would be nice if they could provide ride-share or transportation options for the interns when their time is almost over. Besides those two very small things, this company is incredible, and I hope that more people can have the opportunity to experience what I did this past summer! I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life!

Pros
  • Gaining Experience with the Industry that you are planning to enter after college
  • Meeting new people and making connections!
  • Exploring a different part of the world!
Cons
  • Housing arrangement was almost an hour away from my work location. Simple improvement.
  • Transportation to the airport was not provided.

London Internship

I thought Beyond Academy did an excellent job while I was in London, planning events and keeping everyone really excited about being in London. it was nice to never feel alone in a big city where I didn't really know anyone and I had a lovely time getting to know the other interns and my coworkers. The community coordinators were great and were super helpful with recommendations of things to do and I liked that they were young too, so it didn't feel like we were being bossed around by a bunch of adults. I thought the initial process of finding an internship was quite what I was expecting. On the website, it seems like you'll be meeting with people to help figure out what you want, etc, but it was just me submitting videos answering questions and emailing back and forth with people. I would've loved to have been able to do a phone/video call to get some things sorted out. The visa process was also a nightmare for me and my contact from BA who was supposed to help me wasn't all that helpful. This made me a bit worried, but it is an expensive program, but I do think my experience once being in London made up for it, because everything was great from then on.

Pros
  • Knowing you have someone there to help if you need anything in an unfamiliar place
  • Meet so many interesting people from around the world
Cons
  • During the initial internship matching process, I thought it was a bit difficult to have efficient communication, as sometimes it would take days to get an email response
  • The visa process was stressful and I felt like the Beyond contact I had wasn't really helpful in that regard

Beyond Academy - London

I absolutely loved my time in London while interning through Beyond Academy. First, they make sure to find you a perfect match that you can intern with and then help you step by step through the Visa process. They can provide you with housing (optional) and then have many events planed throughout your time in the city. These are optional as well, but it made it so fun to explore and experience the city with other interns. I always felt safe and never felt like I was alone, which was a big plus for me.

Pros
  • Lots of support from the Beyond Academy staff
  • Great experience professionally, a good resume builder
  • You get to meet a lot of great people and make friends from other parts of the world!
Cons
  • It can get costly if your specific internship doesn't pay you
