Your Seoul program
at a glance
We’ve put together a snapshot of just what it’s like to intern in Seoul, based on a typical 6-week Engineering internship.
Weeks 1 & 2
After all that excitement and anticipation, you’re finally in Seoul! Meet us in arrivals and let us take you straight to your new accommodation so you can settle in.
Use your first day to unwind in the way that best suits you; whether that’s laying low in your digs or a nearby café. Some interns even hop on public transport and explore the city straight away.
On day two, join us as we take you through your welcome orientation. Learn about your upcoming internship program, as well as everything waiting for you in Seoul. Afterwards, it’s time to meet your friends. Meet and get to know your new Beyond Community over some exquisite South Korean Food, and enjoy!
Before you know it, it’s time to dive into the world of work. Make a good first impression on your colleagues and knuckle down for a busy first day. Afterwards, meet your new friends at a Beyond community dinner. After you’ve eaten, take a walk along the Han River or grab the subway home.
Your Engineering internship will expose you to new tasks and challenges, so it’s a good idea to take an early skills workshop. Prepare for the weeks ahead as you undertake exercises in core competencies. Then, apply what you’ve learned to your internship to flourish.
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 the weeks pass, you now feel more comfortable in your role. You can draw up regular reports and sketches, and give your thoughts in team meetings. So, now might be a good time to join your manager for a coffee to review your internship so far.
Seoul is a dynamic, international city, and you’re likely to have met plenty of contacts already. To add to this, we’ll find you a professional industry networking event to attend. Head along and meet other movers and shakers in engineering. You never know where it might lead or what opportunities will arise from friendly conversation.
Soon enough, it’s time for your second trip. Fill yourself with all the food Seoul has to offer on a cooking tour. Food can reveal a lot about a nation, so learn about South Korea via its cuisine. You’re sure to pick up a few tips alongside some delicious street food too.
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
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.
