Biochemistry Internships in Japan

From the moment I applied to after my internship ended, Beyond Academy was nothing short of professional and supportive. I had the best time at my internship and had many opportunities to explore Tokyo and other parts of Japan during my time there. I loved the social events and made many new friends that I hope to stay in contact with for years to come. My internship was also the perfect fit for me, and I did meaningful work and gained a lot from it. I definitely feel more confident going into my future career. I will cherish my time in Tokyo with Beyond for a lifetime.

Hi Samantha, We're delighted to hear that you felt matched with the right host company and were able to gain meaningful, hands-on experience throughout your internship. One of our biggest goals is to ensure interns are able to contribute in a real and impactful way, so it's wonderful to hear that you felt valued as a team member and had opportunities to build professional connections, share ideas, and work directly with clients. We're also so happy that our Tokyo team helped make your experience abroad feel supported from start to finish. Moving to a city like Tokyo can be both exciting and challenging, so it's great to hear that the coordinators, social events, and intern community helped you settle in and make the most of your time there. We especially love your point about collaboration. Some of our best events and experiences come from intern suggestions, and we're always excited to help bring those ideas to life. Tokyo truly offers endless opportunities for exploration, and we're glad you were able to take full advantage of them. Thank you again for your kind words and for being such a wonderful part of our Tokyo community. We wish you all the best in your future career and can't wait to see where your journey takes you next!

The internship I completed in Tokyo was fantastic! Thanks to the Intern Group and all their support and provisions, I was able to undertake an engaging and fulfilling internship within one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. The Intern Group were extremely skilled at analysing my resume, as based on my strengths, they suitably paired me with the NGO Seibo Japan, where I was able to grow and develop my skills and interests in marketing and fundraising. I would highly recommend taking part in an Internship with The Intern Group, and I can't wait until I return to Japan!

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Outside from working hard at my internship and gaining new skills in what I’m passionate in, I was also able to make great relationships with like minded people during my stay. I never had to worry about anything except whether I had enough time to do everything I had planned for a day! But I’ve made connections with others that I will come to cherish forever, and will keep me coming back someday.

This was one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had. I have always wanted to study abroad at university, but due to my circumstances, I was never able to. After graduation, I wanted to gain work experience, and I discovered The Intern Group. This was the perfect opportunity for professional development and an overseas experience. The work that I was doing led me to some pretty cool places, and I got to meet a lot of interesting and unique personalities. If you're considering something like this, I would tell you to do it. Keep in mind that it's what you make of it, and that can make your experience 10/10 or 0/10. The resources are provided for you to grow and learn, so go make the most of your time!

I loved my time with Beyond! I got to meet so many amazing people, and absolutely loved all of the community events they hosted. I worked as a graphic designer/ marketer for a fashion technology company which is not what I’d usually choose but I ended loving it. I had a few issues with housing and the company that hosts it but the community coordinators were very helpful when it came to that. If you have the funds I would highly recommend this program!

I worked as a graphic design intern, for two months. Really enjoyed my time, the Tokyo coordinators really supported me and made me feel welcomed. My internship company were wonderful and I got to work on designing some characters for them. Would definitely recommend doing an internship with beyond academy.

Had an incredible experience working in Tokyo with the help of Beyond Academy! They helped me every step of my journey abroad and organized fun events where we got to meet other interns and explore the city! It was an unforgettable experience that helped me get some hands on knowledge on my preferable field of choice! Would definitely recommend!

Hi Beatriz, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear your Tokyo internship was not only a great learning opportunity but also full of fun events, new friends, and unforgettable moments. Sounds like you really made the most of your time abroad! We love to hear you’d do it all again!

My internship experience in Tokyo through Beyond Academy was truly unforgettable. From the moment I applied, the Beyond Academy team was supportive, organized, and attentive to every detail. They helped match me with an internship that aligned with my interests and career goals, and the placement ended up being a valuable learning opportunity. Living and working in Tokyo was something I’ve been wanting to do for a while and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Beyond Academy my transition was very smooth. They arranged comfortable accommodations, offered cultural guidance, and hosted events that allowed me to meet my now very close friends and explore the city together. The friends I’ve met here have become very important people in my life and I never felt lost or alone, as there was always someone available to help. My host company trusted me with real responsibilities, and encouraged me to contribute my ideas, while also not putting too much pressure on me. Through this internship, I gained practical experience and improved my professional skills. It’s an experience that has broadened my perspective and made me more confident as a young professional. Beyond Academy also organized fun activities and cultural excursions for every week that made the overall program feel well-rounded and thoughtfully designed. Other than the set activities, the events always vary, making every week different and exciting. Some of my favorite memories were the Tea Ceremony in Kimonos, TeamLabs and an all you can eat cafe! I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and would highly recommend Beyond Academy to anyone looking to gain international work experience, grow personally and professionally, and explore one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

Hi Julia, thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful reflection! We’re thrilled to hear that your internship in Tokyo exceeded your expectations and that you were able to gain meaningful professional experience while building lasting friendships. It’s wonderful to know that the Beyond Academy team, your host company, and the weekly activities all contributed to a smooth transition and a well-rounded, memorable experience. Hearing that you feel more confident and connected makes us so happy!

I completed a 2 month internship at a tech company in Tokyo through Beyond Academy. At work, I created digital assets that will be used in an app currently and in the future! This has definitely provided me with a great boost to my resume which will help me stand out for future jobs. The weekly events all around Tokyo and outside of Tokyo were so fun and left me with so many new friends. The coordinators were also so kind and supportive of all of us as well. I would genuinely recommend Beyond Academy for anyone looking to experience daily life and work in another country!

Hi Lena, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your internship allowed you to contribute meaningful work, gain insight into working in Japan, and build new skills for your resume. We’re also so glad you enjoyed the weekly events and were able to make friends while exploring Tokyo, that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope every intern has. Our coordinators will be happy to hear your kind words as well! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your reflections and for recommending Beyond Academy. It means a lot to us, and we’re excited for more interns to have experiences like yours.

I completed an internship with Beyond Academy this month in Tokyo. I was there for 6 weeks. While my host company maybe wasn’t the best fit for me, I am grateful for the overall experience, and the community team in Tokyo did everything they could to make the experience good for everyone. The only thing I will say is that you will not be guaranteed accommodation with other Beyond Academy interns - so it might be harder to make friends if so. Overall good experience.

Hi Scarlette, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your internship overall, and that the Tokyo Community Team was able to support you throughout your placement. We also wanted to clarify that, as we communicate to all interns, we work with multiple accommodation providers. While we do our best to place interns together where possible, it is not a guarantee that all interns will live in the same location. We understand this can make connecting with fellow interns a bit more challenging, but we’re thrilled that your overall experience was positive. We truly appreciate your reflections and wish you all the best with your future endeavors.

Beyond Academy was the best decision I made post-graduation. Japan has always been a place I wanted to visit (as my grandad used to work there) and now having worked, lived and travelled around Japan, it has become a pinnacle moment of my youth and is helping me navigate my future goals. The support from friends and community coordinators made it that much more enjoyable and easy, everyone was there to welcome and support one another. Take that nervous next step, because I promise you it will be worth it, fortune always favours the brave.

In Summer 2025 I completed an 8 week internship in Tokyo through The Intern Group. They were very helpful with the placement and I feel like they really listened to my thoughts on finding the right place for me. I ended up interning for an amazing company in central Tokyo and met some great people. I also really appreciate the scheduled meetups and excursions around Tokyo outside of my internship that were planned and operated by the TIG experience coordination team in Tokyo. It really helped me to meet other people in the same situation as me and I made some great friends and memories. Overall my experience with The Intern Group was amazing and exceeded my expectations.

I did 3 months in Tokyo basically building robots, going to events, eating good food and chilling with good people. Was a great experience loved meeting loads of different people along the way it was very fun plus my internship was fantastic, if you doing tech, it’s a very good place to get full job experience. Overall 100% recommend this to anyone seeking something adventure, culture and fun !!

Hi George, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun and adventurous time in Tokyo, from building robots to exploring the city and making lasting connections. It’s fantastic that your internship gave you hands-on experience in tech, and we love that you were able to enjoy both work and cultural experiences to the fullest. Thanks for recommending the program Tokyo misses you already! 🇯🇵✨

I did a two-month internship in IT in Tokyo with Beyond Academy this summer. The team gave me really helpful coaching and advice before the interviews, which made securing a placement a lot smoother. What I enjoyed the most was the social side of the program — the coordinators were super friendly and always there to help. The social events were fun and a great way to meet new people and enjoy the experience outside of work.

I’ve always dreamed of going to Japan, and Beyond Academy made that a reality in the most incredible way. Their program strikes the perfect balance between meaningful work experience, personal growth, and unforgettable cultural immersion. From professional development and tailored support to weekend adventures, language practice, and local exploration, you’re constantly stepping outside your comfort zone while still feeling right at home. Beyond Academy truly delivers a life-changing journey.

Tokyo is an amazing location for an internship - many opportunities, dynamic social live and full of new experiences - it is a challenge not to enjoy your time here. My workplace was full with enthusiastic young people, which inspired me. Through Beyond Academy I've met many new people, who I'd proudly call lifetime friends now. Overall, the experience gives you the opportunity to explore Japan in ways one couldn't do as a tourist and it's totally worth it.
