Your Seoul program
at a glance
Here’s what a typical Seoul internship looks like, based on a 6-week Consulting internship program.
Weeks 1 & 2
After much planning and anticipation, you can’t believe you’ve finally made it to Seoul. Set foot in South Korea for the first time as you step off the plane; then meet us in arrivals and we’ll whisk you straight to your new accommodation.
How you choose to unwind on your first day is up to you. Some prefer to keep it low-key and relax in their accommodation or a nearby café. Whereas others hop straight on public transport and start exploring. Either way, join us on your second day for your orientation. We’ll prepare you for everything that awaits you in Seoul. Then meet your Beyond Community! Get to know each other over some sumptuous Korean food.
On your first day of work, remain polite and respectful at all times; you’ll soon impress your colleagues and manager. After a busy first day, you might want to unwind at a community dinner. Head out to a restaurant; or if the weather’s nice, grab takeaways and eat in a nearby park. Afterwards, jump on Seoul’s high-tech subway to get home.
You’ll face a range of new tasks and challenges throughout your consulting internship. So to get your skill-set up to scratch, why not take an early skills workshop? With guidance you’ll improve your core competencies, and perhaps learn some new ones too.
Lastly, begin looking forward to the trip to Andong. From its 600-year-old houses, to the retelling of the histories of the Ryu family from the Joseon Dynasty who lived in the village, you’ll have a seriously fascinating time.
Weeks 3 & 4
As your Consulting internship progresses, you’ll start to feel increasingly comfortable in your role. Whether that’s assisting your colleagues as they interview clients; or drawing upon a range of sources to compile professional briefing documents. So now is a good time to head out to one of Seoul’s countless trendy cafés with your manager to discuss your progress so far.
You’ll have likely begun to build up your own network of contacts as you work in Seoul. But we’ll send you out an invite to a top industry event. Head along and make a good impression; you never know where it could lead!
By now, you’ve found your favorite spots to hang out with your Beyond Community in Seoul. Enjoy socializing together, whether you hit up karaoke bars or prefer to unwind at Common Ground (a shopping and entertainment center built from shipping containers)!
Before you know it, it’s time for your second trip. Get ready to experience a culinary culture like no other as you embark upon this food tour. Try it all, from authentic South Korean dishes to a range of fantastic international food.
Weeks 5 & 6
You’ll be fully at home in your Internship now, so it’s a great time to look ahead.
If you’ve not done it already, make sure you fit in your 1-to-1 career coaching session. It’s a chance not many professionals get and lets you explore your dreams and ambitions. You can chat over the things you’re finding a little tougher, and set goals and plans for your future career success.
Lastly, begin looking forward to the trip to Andong. From its 600-year-old houses, to the retelling of the histories of the Ryu family from the Joseon Dynasty who lived in the village, you’ll have a seriously fascinating time.
All good things must come to an end and we’ll make sure you get a great send off at our farewell dinner. Say goodbye to the amazing people you’ve met and get ready to head home.

Beyonders Share Their Experiences 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
