Information Systems Internships in China

After finishing school in Denmark, I wanted something meaningful before university. GAC's gap year program in Beijing was perfect.

I came back with real work experience, improved Chinese, and a clear direction for my future. Best decision I ever made. If I get to do it again, I will certainly go with GAC's program.

Finished uni in Sydney and had no idea what to do next. I didn't want a normal gap year of just backpacking — I wanted something that would actually help my future. GAC's gap year program was perfect. I spent 6 months in Beijing: interned at a marketing agency in the mornings, studied Mandarin at BLCU in the afternoons, and explored China on weekends. The team arranged everything — my internship, classes, shared apartment with other interns, even weekend trips to the Great Wall and Xi'an. My Mandarin went from zero to holding conversations. My internship gave me real experience I still use in interviews. And the friends I made are from all over the world. If you're Australian and thinking about a gap year, skip the usual backpacking route. Do something that builds your future. This was the best decision I ever made.

Finished uni in Swiss and had no clue what to do next. Found GAC's gap year program and figured why not. Spent 4 months in Beijing—interned at a marketing startup in the mornings, took Mandarin classes in the afternoons, and explored the city on weekends. The team found me a shared apartment with other international interns, so I never felt alone. Made friends from all over the world. My Mandarin went from zero to ordering food, bargaining at markets, and actually having conversations. Came back with real work experience, a global network, and way more confidence. Now applying for jobs in international business. If you're stuck after graduation, do this.

I cannot recommend this excellent agency enough! Thanks to their incredible efficiency, I was able to find my internship in just two weeks.

I am infinitely grateful for their constant support and their dedication to my success. A huge thank you to the whole team for being so professional and caring at the same time!

I left Melbourne with literally zero plans and said why not give this a shot? My host family in Haidian turned out to be amazing—my host mum made me breakfast every morning and always helped me with my Mandarin which i really felt like a home. The PKU campus oh come on it was Huge and honestly beautiful. Classes kept me on my toes, but I actually enjoyed them. On weekends, I'd go to hutongs or head out to the Great Wall with friends I’d just met from all over the world like I was really amazed and By the third month, I could bargain at the markets and even hold real conversations with my host brother. I came back way more confident and now I want to go to China for job.

This program is the definitive model for a purposeful gap year. It masterfully interweaves professional development with profound cultural and language acquisition. My marketing internship in Shanghai provided hands-on, resume-building experience, while evening Mandarin classes transformed my ability to connect and navigate life in China. GAC’s support system—handling logistics, housing, and professional networking—provided the stability to fully embrace both the challenges and adventures. I explored from ancient towns to megacities, building a global network and a clarified career vision. It was the most strategically valuable and personally enriching year I could have imagined.

Hi Niklas, We're so glad your gap year served as the definitive model for purposeful development, blending hands-on professional experience with deep cultural and language learning. It's wonderful that our support gave you the stability to fully embrace both challenges and adventures, from ancient towns to megacities.

This gap year program is a masterclass in integrated development. It doesn't merely offer parallel tracks of work and study—it engineers their convergence. My internship at a Shanghai media firm provided practical, portfolio-grade experience in digital strategy, while my tailored Mandarin course at a local university gave me the tools to navigate professional and personal landscapes with growing confidence. The program’s structure was its genius: providing the stability of curated housing, visa support, and professional placement, while empowering the autonomy for spontaneous exploration—be it a weekend trip to a water town or a deep dive into Shanghai’s underground art scene. I returned not with a vague sense of adventure, but with a clarified vision, tangible skills, and a global network. It was the most strategically valuable year of my life.

This gap year program is the definitive answer to the question of how to build a global foundation. It masterfully interlaces professional ambition with profound cultural acquisition. My internship at a Shanghai design firm provided concrete, portfolio-worthy experience, while my evening Mandarin classes at a local university transformed the city from a daunting metropolis into a navigable, intimate space. The GAC framework provided the crucial stability—logistical, professional, and social—that empowered true exploration and risk-taking. I didn't just spend a year in China; I constructed a launchpad there, returning with a robust skill set, a refined worldview, and a network that spans continents. It was the most strategically valuable year of my life.

My gap year was a masterclass in synthesis. The program brilliantly fused the concrete trajectory of a corporate internship in Shenzhen with the organic, unfolding journey of language acquisition. My professional confidence grew in tandem with my ability to navigate a conversation—and a city. GAC provided the crucial infrastructure (visa, housing, a professional network) that empowered true exploration, both in the office and beyond it. This year taught me that the most valuable skills are often found at the intersection of disciplines: the patience learned in a Mandarin class directly informed a complex project at work. It was the most strategic and soulful year of my life.

My internship in South Korea through AIP was genuinely unforgettable. From the very beginning, the AIP team made the whole process smooth by staying in touch, offering guidance, and making sure I always knew what to expect. I also loved that they arranged meetups and activities that allowed us to explore Korea beyond just our workplace. The program was thoughtfully structured and gave me the chance to grow both professionally and personally. During my time in Korea, I was able to learn so much about the culture and enjoy many great moments with my company and colleagues. It’s an experience I truly appreciate. I’d definitely recommend AIP to anyone looking to gain real international work experience in a supportive environment.

I really enjoyed my internship in Seoul, the company was amazing and very welcoming, and my accomodation was close to everything that I needed. I enjoyed the work that I did and I received very clear instructions on how to achieve what I needed to by my host company.

It was interesting to be here in Hong Kong. Being nervous, excited, and learning a lot of new things in a beautiful place like Hong Kong is something everyone should try! I really recommend it :) you’ll have the perfect mix of a work life balance in Asia.
