Discover the London Program Experience Through Other Beyonders Eyes

“I would recommend Beyond Academy because overall its such an incredible experience. Its not like studying abroad through school because you are really immersed in it, you are here living and working and it really gives you the opportunity to feel like you are making headway in your career. ”

Francesca from the United States Theatre Production Intern, London Immersive Program

“I have learnt an insane amount over the last two months. Having been at Uni for two years, I have learnt so much more in a short space of time. I love the fact that so much effort has gone into us having a such a good time. My overall experience so far has been incredible, the balance between working and having fun with friends, and the accommodation has just been great.”

Kim from South Africa
Engineering Intern, London Immersive 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 choose Beyond Academy because I really liked the chance to have both a travel experience and at the same time get some work experience.My favourite thing about Beyond Academy has been the opportunity to really dive into London, and at the same time you have the support beyond so you don’t feel alone in this whole experience.”

Alexandra from Denmark
Research Analyst Intern, London Immersive Program

“I thought I would explore the world, gain some work experience, and have fun while doing the things I love. My experience so far here in London is very much engaging and fun. I work in a casting agency, I am able to meet so many people that came from art school and want to work on films. ”

Grant from the Philippines
Casting Intern, London Immersive Program

“I intern at a Film Festival, it’s by trafalgar Square. I have got to know a lot of people here and so I have made a lot of connections in the field I want to go into it. I have connected with a quite a few interns which I think I got super lucky with cause we are all good friends now. This internship has made me more confident in generally going for more jobs and just working in a professional setting.”

Your London program
at a glance

We’ve put together a snapshot of a typical 6-week business program to give you an idea of what it’s like to intern with us.

Weeks 1 & 2

As you fly into London, no doubt you’ll notice the skyline full of the city’s iconic skyscrapers – the Shard, the Gherkin, the Helter-Skelter. It’s finally time for your London adventure.

After a long journey, you’re ready to head straight to your new digs. So let us pick you up and whisk you straight there.

It’s time to settle in. Whether you’d like to get over your jet lag or head straight out and explore your new city, use your first day to get comfortable. Day two is all about your orientation. Here you’ll get to grips with what your London experience has to offer, before meeting your fellow interns. Introduce yourself and start making friends!

On your first day in your new role, you’ll meet your manager and the rest of the team. Then you’ll familiarize yourself with your place of work for the next few weeks or months. Once your first day is over, it’s time to relax at one of our Community Team dinners. Sample some of London’s culinary delights; it might be a spicy curry, or tasty fish and chip supper. Navigate your way home on the Tube – don’t worry, you’ll soon be a master of its maze of colourful lines!

Your business internship is a constant learning experience. To maximize your time in London, you might want to take an early Workshop. Improve your skills and learn all the tools you’ll need to succeed in business. You’ll be able to apply these to both your internship and all of your future endeavours.

Before you know it, it’s time for your amazing Cambridge trip. Marvel at the ancient university buildings – established in 1209 – before getting your punting skills up to scratch down the River Cam. Finish your day with a sumptuous dinner – whether it’s classic British steak and ale pie, Korean barbeque, or a Caribbean-style curry.

Weeks 3 & 4

You’ve settled in well and are now used to the rhythms of your busy life as a business intern in London. Already you’ve become adept at pitching product recommendations, as well as compiling financial reports for your manager. So you might head out to review your progress over a coffee.

Everywhere you turn in London, there’s something new waiting for you. We’ll be hard at work searching for networking opportunities for you to make the most of; so start building up your international contact list.

Then it’s already time for your second guided tour. It’s theater night, and that means singing your heart out to a jukebox musical or being moved to tears by a stripped-back indie production. Either way, you’ll have an unforgettable time! Conclude your night with a visit to a world-famous restaurant or bar for a few cocktails.

Weeks 5 & 6

Time moves quickly in this city. Your time in London is already reaching its end. By now, you’ll be reflecting on what you’ve learned and the next steps you’d like to take. You may now be pro at handling multiple clients’ portfolios. Or you are on your way to becoming a master of analysing market data!

And you’re sure to have become aware of new opportunities or career goals in the process. So now might be the right time for your 1-to-1 career coaching session. Our qualified coach will help you consider your London internship as well as your aspirations and next steps.

You’ve also become truly immersed in the culture of the UK. You’ve taken in the amazing sights of Cambridge, and keep replaying the memories of your unforgettable theater experience; and you’ve become familiar with all the iconic sights of London, from the black cabs and red buses to Big Ben and Tower Bridge. Now it’s time for one last day trip: the food tour. Follow our guide through the winding streets of London, tasting all the delicious samples on offer. From Lebanese Baba Ghanoush to Nigerian Efo Riro.

As your time in London reaches an end, prepare for your farewell dinner. Congratulate your fellow interns – you’ve all had a life-changing experience – and say your goodbyes! It’s time for a last dash around London to tick off anything remaining on your list. Whether it’s heading up the London Eye for an amazing view, or a visit to one of London’s countless museums; make sure you get everything in. You won’t regret it!
