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.”

Your Berlin program
at a glance
Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like to undertake a typical 6-week Berlin Engineering internship.
Weeks 1 & 2
After months of planning, you’ve finally made it. Step off the plane and take in that unmistakable first breath of a brand-new city. You’ll soon be immersed in the heart of Berlin; but first, meet us in arrivals and allow us to whisk you to your new home. From there, you can either sleep off the jet lag and settle in; or get out there and start exploring.
Join us on day two for your orientation, where you’ll soon settle in. We’ll get you up to speed with everything that awaits you in Berlin. In the evening, why not head out to dinner to meet your new friends? Introduce yourself over hearty currywurst and beer; you’ll soon be the closest of friends.
On your first day of work, get to know your new colleagues and the workload that awaits you; then dive in! Keep in mind that you’re here to learn; ask questions and watch your co-workers carefully. They’re keen to see you succeed, so take advantage while you’re here.
Even with the support of your colleagues, you’ll likely still find yourself challenged by your work. Take a skills workshop to get into the right mindset for the weeks ahead; undertake exercises in key skills alongside coaches and speakers, then leave this session ready for anything.
Soon enough, it’s already time for your first day trip. Make the journey out to Potsdam, a fairytale city packed full of grand palaces and royal gardens. Explore some UNESCO sites and learn some history while you’re at it.
Weeks 3 & 4
It’s your third week in Berlin, and your Engineering internship is going well. You’ve been working closely with your team on a number of projects; you’ve been constantly sketching and using computer software to produce new designs. And you’re gaining great experience in troubleshooting and root cause analysis. It’s a good time to reflect on your progress with your manager.
You’ve been working hard these last few weeks, so it’s time to take a break. Head out to a community dinner and catch up with your friends. Try something new as you explore Berlin’s offering of international restaurants.
You’ve probably picked up a few contacts of your own already, and you’re about to make a few more. Head out to a professional networking event and meet leaders in Engineering; chat and share your thoughts on the latest developments in your sector. Hit it off with the right person and good things may come of it.
Your second trip is a cultural experience through the heart of Berlin. Enjoy some delicious German food as you experience art old and new; Berlin is a cultural hotspot, and there’s nowhere else in the world quite like it.
Weeks 5 & 6
Your internship is nearing its end, and you’ve booked in your 1-to-1 career session to review what you’ve gained. From world-class professional experience to a cultural immersion like no other, it’s certainly been worth it. Finish your session by planning your next steps after leaving Berlin.
Your final trip will see you heading to the Clärchens Ballhaus. Find a partner and go dancing in this tribute to sophistication; enjoy the drinks and music as you soak up the authentic throwback atmosphere.
You’ve got one last event to attend before it’s time to leave Berlin: your farewell dinner. Pledge to keep in touch with your friends as you celebrate your achievements; then say goodbye. And before you’re due to fly out, make the most your remaining free time here. Enjoy Berlin’s Spy Museum as you discover a history of secret agents and espionage. Then have a cocktail (or a non-alcoholic mocktail) in the Monkey Bar; enjoy the view of the Berlin Zoo as you do it!
