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 Amsterdam program
at a glance
To give you a glimpse at life in Amsterdam, we’ve put together a snapshot of a typical 6-week Fashion internship.
Weeks 1 & 2
After months of preparation and planning, you’ve finally touched down in Amsterdam. As you flew in, you just about glimpsed the iconic canals of the city; you can’t wait to dive into everything Amsterdam has to offer. But first up, meet us in arrivals and allow us to whisk you to your new accommodation.
Spend the rest of your first day in a way that suits you. For some that’ll be laying low in your room or a nearby café; for others it’s hopping on a bike or water taxi and experiencing as much of Amsterdam as possible. Whatever you choose, you’ll join us on your second day for a comprehensive orientation. We’ll get you up to speed with everything awaiting you on your program, including Amsterdam itself. Then head out to your first community dinner to meet your new best friends. It’s a fun evening of good food and good company, so don’t miss it.
Turn up to work nice and early on your first day; the Dutch are very particular about time. Put in the effort and impress your colleagues, and make sure to ask for it whenever you need help; an internship is a learning experience, after all. Your colleagues and manager will be a constant source of assistance and support throughout your time in Amsterdam.
You might find yourself stretched and challenged by your workload, so why not attend an early skills workshop? It’s a great place to prepare for the varied tasks you’ll be undertaking, all with the guidance of coaches and speakers. You’ll leave able to apply your new knowledge to your internship – and impress your colleagues.
Next, it’s time to get ready for your first trip: a luxurious canal cruise. Float through the heart of Amsterdam as you go sight-seeing; and sample a range of sumptuous food as you do it!
Weeks 3 & 4
By week three, you’ve found yourself getting into the groove of your fast-paced internship. You’ll on top of all the latest industry trends, summarizing them in detailed reports; and you’ve mastered social media engagement, boosting your firm’s follower count in the process. So head out with your manager to discuss how you feel you’re getting on.
Work’s been busy so far, so you might want to unwind at a mid-week community dinner. It’s a great opportunity to catch up with your friends as you chat the night away; to get home, take a moonlit walk along a canal.
English is widely spoken in Amsterdam, so you’ll likely have made a few professional contacts already. To help you build your network, we’ll send you an invite to an exclusive industry event. Impress top leaders in fashion and good things may come of it.
For your second trip, take a market tour around the heart of Amsterdam as you immerse yourself in the city’s culture and history. Chat with locals as you get to know their stories, then sample some delicious food and drink. Before you leave, make sure you explore the beautiful Old Town.
Weeks 5 & 6
As your internship nears its end, you’ve taken some time out with a career coach to look back on what you’ve gained. Consider the industry skills and knowledge you’ve developed and how you might apply them in the future; as well as the friends and contacts you’ve made. Not to mention the cultural education you’ve experienced. All in all, it’s been a life-changing few weeks.
Cap off your three half-day trips with a journey to Zaanse Schans. Head out of Amsterdam and get to grips with a traditionally Dutch experience. Take in the collection of windmills, museums, and bakeries as you immerse yourself in a simpler time.
Your last scheduled event is your goodbye dinner. Meet up with your friends for one last time as you reminisce about your Amsterdam experience. Swap contact details and pledge to stay in touch, then say farewell. And before you leave, make sure you’ve got as much out of Amsterdam as possible. Discover the KattenKabinet, a quirky collection of cat-based artwork; or grab some second-hand books in the famous Oudemanhuispoort passage. You won’t regret it.
