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.”

A Professional Entrepreneurship & Startups Internship

Starting every month, with a duration of between one and six months, you’ll be able to choose the right program for you.

You’ll get hands-on experience in a London-based internship; complete with an immersive insight into one of the world’s biggest financial and investment hubs.

London is a gloriously unique city. Its ancient origins are on display through countless museums and Roman ruins; and there are iconic buildings like Big Ben or the Shard everywhere you turn. Connecting it all is the world-famous London Underground, or Tube; learning to navigate it is when you know you’ve become a Londoner!

But London has more to offer than history and iconic sights; you’ll also quickly become familiar with London’s outstanding array of bars, restaurants, and cosy pubs. On top of that, there’s an unmatched cultural scene. Whether it’s literary or theatrical, you’ll discover something truly unique that’ll make your imagination sparkle. In fact, it’s the perfect place to brainstorm or come up with new exciting business ideas!

Immersive workshop

Career coaching & support

You’ll have the chance to undergo a personalized 1-to-1 guidance session.

It’s a unique opportunity to explore your career.

Of course, you’ll have a packed schedule – full of meetings, trips, social events, and networking – so you’ll fit this meeting in at the right time for you.

An early appointment is a way of preparing for your coming internship. Or if you’d prefer, a half-way session is a good middle ground; here you can both reflect on what you’ve learned so far while getting ready for what’s to come.

Alternatively, a session towards the end of your time is a good way to look back at your progress; while setting out a roadmap for your future endeavours.

We also offer tailored career advice and interviews tips at any point in your programme. Whether that’s resume or LinkedIn advice, or helping you to prepare a professional portfolio.

Your London program
at a glance

We know you’ll be eager to discover what a London-based internship is like. That’s why we’ve put together a snapshot of a typical London entrepreneurship program, based on a standard 6-week internship.

Weeks 1 & 2

After all this time, you’ve made it: London. As you flew in, you picked out those iconic landmarks seen in a thousand films – Big Ben, the Shard, the Tower of London. Get ready, because you’ll be striding among those landmarks soon enough!

Meet us at the airport and we’ll pick you up and take you straight to your new digs. You can use this time to kick back and get some R&R. Or if you’d prefer, get straight out there and start exploring your new city. On day two you’ll undergo our comprehensive orientation; familiarize yourself with London and what awaits you on your internship. Meet your new Beyond Community as you build friendships that will last you a lifetime.

Then it’s time to get to know your colleagues. Introduce yourself to your manager and team, and dive straight in! After your busy first day, you’ll want to unwind at a community dinner. You might sample a delicious Indian curry before you hop on the Tube and make your way home.

Your internship will certainly be a constant learning experience. To make the most of it, you might want to take part in our skills workshop. With the help of coaches and speakers, you’ll improve your skill-set and impress your new colleagues!

After a busy week or two, you’ll be able to lose yourself in British culture with the first of our trips; this time, to Cambridge. You’ll relax as you experience this enchanting slice of quaint English life, floating gently down the River Cam. Finish off your day in this beautiful university town with fish and chips or some local ice cream!

Weeks 3 & 4

You’ve settled in quickly, familiar with the ebbs and flows of your busy entrepreneurship program. Already you’ve got a good handle on market research, and your client handling skills are growing. So head out to one of London’s trendiest cafes with your manager to discuss your progress.

An interconnected and global city, London is packed with opportunities to network. We’ll send you regular invites to professional industry events – get out there and start building long-lasting business relationships!

For your second trip, it’s time to head down to the iconic West End for an unforgettable night. Take in an amazing show in and around Soho, and cap it off with dinner (and cocktails!) at a world-class restaurant.

Weeks 5 & 6

Your time in London will fly by. But it’s been an extraordinary experience; you’ve met new people, developed an extensive list of contacts, and gained invaluable skills.

You feel like you know everything there is to know about your industry. So now’s a good time to look back on your internship with a tailored coaching session. With a qualified coach, reflect on what you’ve learned and where you’d like to go next.

You’ve also become fully immersed in the amazing culture of London. You know the city like the back of your hand – and it’s time to complete your cultural education with your final tour. Make your way through the back alleys of London, and experience some delicious food. You’ll also learn a bit of cultural history as you go!

Now there’s just one last event to attend – your farewell dinner. Congratulate your fellow interns and reminisce with your Beyond Community; then say goodbye.

But before you go, take in London one last time. Whether that’s one last slow walk beside the Thames, soaking up the atmosphere. Or a blitz around the city on a tour bus, hitting all the major tourist spots. You won’t regret it – London is a city that will stay with you forever.

“My experience so far here has been amazing, it’s just a shock how much I have been enjoying it. The interns are amazing here so we have been hanging out and getting to know each other and exploring Seoul. It’s really just been a full experience that I have been embracing every single day. I work in a team who creates content relating to K-pop. My favourite part of interning is getting to know my coworkers, being around a group of people that are just so kind and inviting, working alongside them every day has been the best experience. I had been hearing about Beyond Academy for quite some time and I read some really great reviews. I wanted to get the work and life balance, which Beyond offered. My favourite thing about Beyond are the connections I have made here and also the events that have been planned, it gets all of us out to embrace Korean culture.”
