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.”
Hannah from the United States

Your Berlin program
at a glance
You probably want to know more about what a Finance & Accounting internship looks like, so we’ve compiled a snapshot of a typical 6-week internship in Berlin.
Weeks 1 & 2
You’ve been planning for months and now you’re finally here: welcome to Berlin! We’ll pick you up at the airport and take you to your new accommodation, beginning your journey into a city brimming with culture and excitement. When we’ve dropped you off the day is yours. Use your first day to start exploring the city or get some much-needed rest after a long flight.
On day two, you’ll join us for a detailed orientation. We’ll help you to get familiar with your internship and the working culture of Berlin; once evening rolls around, you might want to join your new Beyond Community for dinner and get to know other interns. Try something new like schnitzel to really take in the German atmosphere.
Ensure you are on time for your first day of work! You’ll get a better idea of what tasks you’ll be responsible for and then you’ll dive right in. This is your chance to soak up all the experience you can; observe new processes and ask questions of your colleagues; they’re happy to help and want to see you succeed. Apply your new skills throughout your internship to get the most out of your program.
Now it’s time to unwind with your first trip. A short journey outside of Berlin you’ll find the picturesque Potsdam. A city straight out of a fairy tale, you’ll find regal palaces and manicured gardens; enjoy this unique city and soak up the distinctly German atmosphere.
Weeks 3 & 4
You’ve reached week three and you’re starting to feel at home in Berlin and in your firm. With all you’ve been asked to do, you’re getting to grips with it nicely from keeping a careful eye on the markets and considering financial advice as your colleagues interact with clients. You’ve learned a lot already, which makes this a great time to have a chat with your manager over a cup of coffee.
The last few weeks have been busy and now it’s time to relax. Head over to meet your friends at a community dinner. Sample some of Germany’s famous cuisine or try one of the other diverse options as you trade stories about your internships so far.
Networking is an important part of building a career in Finance & Accounting, so now is the time to start building your own professional network. We’ll invite you to an exclusive industry event and this is your chance to speak with leaders in the field. Make a good impression on the right person and you never know what good things could come of it.
Next, you’ll embark on your second tour. Wander through Berlin’s legendary art scene, from gallery and museum to public art works. And throughout the day you’ll stop to snack on the best street food. There’s no better way to experience the city.
Weeks 5 & 6
As the end of your program nears, you’ll want to reflect on all you’ve accomplished. Book a 1-to-1 career session and review your progress. Alongside a professional coach, you’ll even get a chance to consider the next steps in your career journey.
Celebrate a successful internship on your final trip! You’ll find yourself transported to Berlin’s golden era at the iconic 20th century ballroom, Clärchens Ballhaus. Dance the evening away to great live music and delicious cocktails.
The end has arrived, but before you depart you’ll want to attend your farewell meal. This is a great opportunity to reminisce with the friends you’ve made and the memories you share. Make sure you trade contact information so you can stay in touch once you leave!
You’ll have a bit of time before your flight home, so be sure to make the most of it. Take a tour of subterranean Berlin and marvel at the old WWII air raid shelters; or find peaceful tranquility at the Berlin Botanical Gardens.
