Seoul Internships with Beyond Academy

Got to experience living and working in the heart of South Korea! As a solo female traveller, I never felt lonely or scared, as the community at Beyond were so welcoming and attentive during the whole process from in depth discussions about my career goals and aspirations to booking my flights, and navigating Seoul on the ground. Social events were planned every week which were tailored and coordinated according to our preferences and feedback. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have met so many likeminded people around the globe, some which I know will be lifelong friends!!

I really enjoyed the social opportunities with Beyond Academy, as it allowed me to connect with other interns going through similar experiences. Before the program, I struggled to make friends while studying Korean, but here, I quickly made lasting connections. The staff was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond and easy to talk to. As for work, I was lucky with my company—they were kind and supportive, and everyone spoke English. My commute was also simple, just 25 minutes with two transfers. While other interns had different experiences, it's worth noting that travel times and work environments can vary. Overall, Beyond Academy provided an enriching experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and social internship abroad!

This year I had the pleasure of spending two unforgettable months in Seoul. From the day I arrived I felt total support from the amazing community team who made my life easier and planned some great events which I always looked forward to. My internship was full of learning and challenges along the way where I was always pushed to be better and I am grateful to have spent it at the company that I did. The accommodation was also really nice, had an amazing view of the Han River, and gave me the opportunity to meet amazing people who I am grateful to call friends. I always wanted to try living and working abroad and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Living in Seoul felt like something out of a fantasy to me and helped me realise a dream. I will always be thankful to have had this incredible experience.
