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.”

Your London program
at a glance

Here’s a snapshot of London life, based on a typical 6-week environmental and sustainability internship.

Weeks 1 & 2

After months of careful planning, nerves, and excitement, you’ve finally touched down in London. As you flew in you’ll have spotted landmarks like the Shard and the Tower of London. In London, landmark spotting will soon become one of your favourite activities! But first, meet us at the airport and we’ll transport you to your new accommodation.

Your first day is entirely yours; so explore or lay low in a local café. On day two, join us for your comprehensive London orientation. Here you’ll learn everything that awaits you on your course. Then, it’s time to meet your Beyond Community. They’ll be anxious to meet you; get to know each other over some delicious British food!

On your first day of work, turn up early to meet your manager and colleagues; then get stuck in! After a busy day, you might want to kick back and relax at a community dinner. Your new friends will want to know how it went; so swap stories over an international dish. Then catch the Tube or take a moonlit walk home along the Thames.

To prepare yourself for this professional challenge, it’s a good idea to take an early workshop. Work with professional coaches to improve your core skills; you’ll leave this session ready to take on the world!

And for your first trip, it’s time to visit Cambridge. This iconic university city is just waiting to be uncovered, so dive in and experience it all. Glorious waterways, peaceful green spaces and medieval buildings await you.

Weeks 3 & 4

As your internship progresses, you’re growing more comfortable in your role. From familiarizing yourself with all the latest green startups and eco-innovations; to producing an array of written material, from campaign literature to press releases. So now’s a good time to head out with your manager and think about your progress so far.

You’ll be constantly meeting new people while you work in London; and you’ve likely picked up a few contacts of your own. To aid your burgeoning network, we’ll send out an invite to a top industry event. Head along and meet some like-minded individuals in your industry – it may pay dividends down the line.

Next, your second trip awaits: take a journey down to the West End for an unforgettable night of theater, food, and drink. Take in an amazing show and cap off your evening with dinner in a world-class restaurant.

Weeks 5 & 6

Your internship is approaching its end, so you’re taking a moment to consider what you’ve gained: a professional experience like no other, a complete cultural education in the UK, and life-long friends. You’ve packed so much into just six weeks!

If you haven’t already, pencil in your appointment with a professional coach and plan out your next steps. This will be invaluable in setting out your future career, so don’t miss it.

Your final trip is a food tour. Join a guide and discover everything London has to offer; every back street, alley, and market. This walking tour will leave you knowing London like the back of your hand; and you’ll have experienced a culinary culture like no other.

But before it’s time to go, you’ve got one last event scheduled: your goodbye dinner. Prepare to bid farewell to your community; it’s been an incredible journey, so have one last dinner and say goodbye. In your final days, take in as much of the city as you can. Visit the British Museum or head up the Shard for cocktails and an unmissable view. You won’t regret making the most of London.
