Sydney Internships with Beyond Academy

I had the best time in Sydney! The program coordinators were so welcoming and made the experience so much better. They were there for anything I needed and planned super fun events! I highly recommend to anyone that is considering!

Sydney is such a great spot for an internship and the staff there were very nice and welcoming. They made the experience amazing and I really appreciated how much time they spent planning events and helping the interns with whatever they needed.

The support I received at my internship location from the Beyond Academy mentors was amazing. My accommodation with other interns and students allowed me to widen my social life and experience more things. The actual job itself with amazing people was the perfect job experience to begin the steps into my career.

I had the incredible opportunity to spend 10 weeks in Sydney with Beyond Academy, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, the program exceeded my expectations in every way. Even before the program began, the communication with the Beyond Academy team was excellent. They provided invaluable support with my visa application and ensured the process was smooth and stress-free. Beyond Academy made exploring the city and connecting with others so easy and enjoyable. Their twice-weekly events were absolute highlights—ranging from cultural experiences to social gatherings, they were the perfect way to meet people and immerse myself in Sydney life. Through these events, I made definitely friendships that will last a lifetime. Looking back, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to spend these 10 weeks with Beyond Academy.

I’ve meet so many great people and I made memories that are going to last forever! The internship made me learn so much about myself and was the greatest experience that I’ve ever had. I am gonna miss so much from this place here and I would recommend it to everyone! I would do it over and over again!

The social life was great! Bi-weekly events, saw a lot of Sydney in two months! The host company was small but related to my industry of choice. I would recommend this programme to anyone considering an internship abroad!

If you are thinking about doing an internship abroad, you should do it with Beyond. Not only do they put you in contact with some incredible companies to intern with, guide you through the process and help you with the visa situation, but once you actually get to the location it's even better. Although the accommodation could have been better, the fellow interns and the community guide make up for it fully. You have a lot of freedom in planning what you want to do during your time in Sydney, but the structure of the activities keep you occupied even if you don't want to plan things yourself. It can be a bit intimidating going abroad, but Beyond Academy makes the experience amazing in every way, and they're fully there for you every step of the way.

If you’ve ever wondered what life down under is really like, this is the program for you. Studying abroad has its perks but only when you live and work in a place do you get a sense of what it’s all about. Beyond did a fantastic job matching me with a dream come true of a company, where the connections I made and opportunities I’d been given were worth their weight in gold. Outside of work, the included events (plus a few us interns planned) really helped us to get to know the city and culture. The opera house is a fantastic venue even if you don’t speak the language the show you’re watching is in, and the Blue Mountain Falls are breathtaking, partially because in winter the water is so cold you’ll seize up just a little bit. And if you’re ever feeling crazy, there was a pretty fantastic skydiving company just an hour inland. Good fun, right? Our community coordinator was great, and it often felt like we were meeting a local friend to go explore and get to know the hidden gems (as well as the vegan taco shops). What almost every travel website says is true, Australians are good fun. Everyone we met or talked to was so welcoming, to the point where I was able to make a friend on the beach within 5 minutes of us meeting. Locals were willing to show us about, and were more than proud of their culture and hometowns. Great people, great place, great program.

Had a really good time with this company in Sydney and we were set up with a really friendly support staff member. It was an incredible city and the company Sydney rep set us up with lots of fun activities where we could explore the city through the perspective of a local and a tourist. The lodge was a bit out of the way across the bridge but it did mean there was a nice view on the way to the city daily. Beyond Academy created a perfect opportunity for travel and work experience which has really enhanced my resume, they set me up with an amazing company and allowed me to give them my input on what places I would and wouldn't work in.

Since this program is centered on internships, I got to experience two unique communities. One in the workplace and the other with my fellow Beyonders. There was never a dull moment, and I got to experience Sydney to the fullest extent during my 8 week stay. I had the freedom to plan my own events and excursions, as well as participate in the Beyond Academy coordinated events. Our community coordinator was especially great at customizing the activities to our specific group of interns, and the role success team was very supportive in preparation for the internship.
