Beyonders Share Their Experience on Our Program
“What I loved about Beyond Academy and why I choose them is because they are more flexible and more individually tailored to what each person is looking for, rather than just a generalised experience. My group and the entire Beyond community has been really welcoming. I am so lucky to be able to have this experience with people that are similar, as in we are all looking to grow personally, grow professionally and also just enjoy every moment. Everyone here has left behind the familiar and has come to the unfamiliar which can be scary, but when you have a community as good as this, it’s not scary at all.”
Hannah from the United States
PR & Journalism Intern, London Immersive Program
“I am involved in Project Management, which is close to what I want to do in the future. One of my favorite parts of my internship is that I’m taken seriously. In the sense that after building up some trust and showing the company what I have to offer, What was great was that I was able to work on a project from start to finish and really get to know the while process, that really gives me a feeling of accomplishment.”
Karin from Austria

The interns are amazing here so we have been hanging out and getting to know each other and exploring Seoul. It’s really just been a full experience that I have been embracing every single day. I work in a team who creates content relating to K-pop. My favourite part of interning is getting to know my coworkers, being around a group of people that are just so kind and inviting, working alongside them every day has been the best experience. I had been hearing about Beyond Academy for quite some time and I read some really great reviews. I wanted to get the work and life balance, which Beyond offered. My favourite thing about Beyond are the connections I have made here and also the events that have been planned, it gets all of us out to embrace Korean culture.”

Your Amsterdam program
at a glance
We’ve put together a snapshot of what it’s like to undertake a business internship in Amsterdam, based on a typical 6-week experience.
Weeks 1 & 2
As you pass over the intricate web of canals, and the rainbow colours of Amsterdam’s buildings come into view, you’ll know that you’ve finally made it. We’ll meet you at the airport and whisk you to your new home.
Use day one to relax and settle in, or get out there and start exploring! We’ll give you a detailed orientation on day two, fully familiarizing you with Amsterdam and what to expect from your course. Then it’s time to introduce yourself to your fellow interns and start building long-lasting friendships!
The first order of business is meeting your manager and team. You’ll be excited to dive straight into your internship, so make a good first impression and then get started. After your first day is over, join us at a Community Team dinner; unwind with some good food and chat! Then, navigate your way home with a bike ride or on an iconic waterway.
As you get to grips with your internship, you’ll face all sorts of new and exciting challenges. To help you face these challenges you can undertake our workshop. You’ll build your confidence and skill-set under the tutelage of our qualified coaches and speakers. Apply your new skills to your internship, and beyond!
And before you know it, you’re ready for your first day trip. It’s time to properly get to grips with the Venice of the North; as you float down the waterways of Amsterdam, you’ll feel utterly serene. You’ll also spot plenty of iconic sights and striking architecture.
Weeks 3 & 4
A couple of weeks in, you’re increasingly comfortable with the challenges of your business internship. You’ve already developed good experience generating financial reports and reporting back to management; and you’ve been regularly assisting in client interviews to determine business needs. Having progressed nicely, it’s a good time to head out with your manager and discuss your internship over a pastry or coffee.
English is widely spoken in the Netherlands, and so you’ll have lots of opportunity to start building up your network of contacts. We’ll be hard at work searching for the best professional networking opportunities for you; make sure you take advantage of these events. As a result, you’ll leave your internship with a great set of contacts and opportunities.
As you pass the midpoint of your internship, it’s time for you to embark upon your second guided tour. Journey through the markets of Amsterdam, sampling delicious food as you go. You’ll learn a bit of local history as you move from Chinatown through to Amsterdam’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Weeks 5 & 6
Sadly, your time in Amsterdam is nearing its end. By this time, you’ve become completely familiar with all aspects of your internship. You’re adept at tracking worldwide stock market trends and reporting your findings back to management. And you’ve learned all the tricks of the trade when it comes to Amsterdam’s business culture. Now, it’s time to start thinking about what comes next.
If you haven’t already, the best way to plan out your next steps is to have your tailored 1-to-1 career coaching session. You’ll reflect on what you’ve learned about yourself, as well as your new perspective on your goals and future path.
Amsterdam is your second home by now. You’ll have visited every hotspot, from museums to coffee shops. So use your third trip to complete your cultural education of the Netherlands by visiting Zaanse Schans. From iconic windmills to museums and factories, this slice of historic Dutch life is a great window to the past. Grab a souvenir or tasty treat before you leave!
There’s one last event to attend before you leave Amsterdam: your farewell dinner. Congratulate your fellow interns and reminisce about your amazing time. Before you go, make sure you’ve ticked off everything on your list. Whether that’s the Anne Frank House or Van Gogh Museum, you’ll want to get the most out of this unforgettable city.
Then take one last look at that iconic Dutch landscape as you fly home.
