“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

Your Amsterdam program
at a glance
See what awaits you – here’s a snapshot of what it’s like to intern in Amsterdam based on a typical 6-week program.
Weeks 1 & 2
You’ll know you’re flying over Amsterdam when you see the crisscross of canals through the city. After all the waiting, you’ve made it!
We’ll help you get settled into your new accommodation and catch your breath, then it’s on to your orientation. It’s here you’ll first meet the other interns and start making new friends.
As you begin your internship you’ll be exhilarated by all the new experiences. You’ll meet your manager and new team, then take a look around the office. Make some time after work to destress and enjoy dinner with the Community Team. Catch a canal taxi home to properly unwind.
As you focus on your internship you’ll be learning so much everyday. It’s a great time to take our Business Workshop to fine-tune your skills with tools and insights you’ll find useful in your internship and beyond.
Get ready to get up close and personal with the canals with our canal cruise tour. Kick back and relax with onboard food and drinks.
Weeks 3 & 4
Find an hour or two to get coffee and a ‘tompouce’ pastry with your manager and go over the feedback from work.
Amsterdamians are great networkers, and we’ll be finding the best networking opportunities so you can join in and get some valuable new international contacts.
From the classic to the modern, from Dutch to Indonesian, you’ll explore the market food scene of Amsterdam to your heart’s content in our guided tour.
Weeks 5 & 6
As you start to get into your stride in your internship, you can start to look ahead.
New goals and ambitions will be unleashed from your internship and it’s the perfect time to have your 1-to-1 career coaching session. The professional coach can talk with you about the goals you’d like to set for your career, and help you find lasting success.
Get in some seriously fun (and tasty) local culture with a tour of the windmills of Zaanse Schans, cheese weighing house in Edam and traditional fishing village of Volendam.
Your time in Amsterdam is nearing its end, and it’s time for the farewell dinner. Catch up one last time with the friends you’ve made and say goodbye, for now at least. Capture some memories to take home with a last stroll along the Prinsengracht canal before you head back.
