Beyonders Share Their Experience on Our Program

“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 definitive guide to London life, based on a typical 6-week consulting internship.

Weeks 1 & 2

When you first arrive in London, you’ll be awestruck by the familiar sights you’ve seen in a thousand films. It won’t quite feel real; but soon enough, you’ll be totally immersed within this city. First thing’s first: meet us at the airport and we’ll take you straight to your new accommodation.

Take your first day to unwind; for some that’s getting out and exploring the city, for others it’s sleeping off the jet lag. Either way, join us on day two for your comprehensive orientation. We’ll introduce you to London, as well as what awaits you on your course – including your brand-new Beyond Community.

On your first day of work, turn up nice and early to make a good impression on your colleagues. Then meet your manager, roll your sleeves up, and get to work! After a busy day, you might want to unwind at a community dinner. Swap stories with your new friends; if your first meal was classically British, why not try something international? Afterwards, hail down a black cab or catch an iconic red double-decker bus home.

Consulting is a varied discipline, and you’ll be regularly faced with new challenges. To properly prepare yourself, you might want to take an early skills workshop. With coaches and speakers you’ll hone your core competencies and learn some new ones too.

For your first trip, you’ll journey to the glorious city of Cambridge. Immerse yourself in this quintessential slice of English life; visit souvenir shops, museums, and cosy pubs!

Weeks 3 & 4

As the weeks progress, you’ll be more and more comfortable in your role. Whether that’s producing regular qualitative reports for clients or getting on top of your research briefs in a range of areas. So head out with your manager to one of London’s trendy cafes and discuss your achievements so far.

London is a diverse city full of opportunity wherever you look; so you’ve likely begun to build a list of contacts and friendly faces that might help you out along the line. To help, our London team will be busy searching for the best industry networking events. We’ll send you an invite, so use this chance to get to know top consultancy professionals.

Next, take a trip to London’s West End for unforgettable theater, delicious food, and a cocktail or two. You’ll take in a show and finish your evening with dinner and dancing!

Weeks 5 & 6

As your internship nears its end, think back on what you’ve gained. Professional experience and a cultural immersion like no other; and life-long friends for good measure. It’s certainly been an eventful six weeks! If you haven’t already, take some time out with a coach to assess your progress and chart out your future.

To conclude your cultural experience, it’s time for your food tour. You’ll get to grips with London’s diverse culinary culture as you explore the city’s back streets and markets. Learn a bit of history as you go!

Before you leave, you’ve got one last event scheduled. It’s time for your farewell dinner, so put on your best clothes and get ready to say goodbye. You’ll miss your community, but the bonds you’ve forged will last for life. In your final days, make sure you whizz around the city to check off as much as you can. Whether it’s an open-bus tour or a dinner cruise along the Thames, you won’t regret it.
