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.

A Professional Human Resources Internship

Starting every month, and lasting between one and six months, you can build a program that fits around your diary.

Working in London, you’ll receive top industry experience in HR. With new deals, relationships, HR legislature and challenges being formed every day, there’s nowhere better to begin your career than in London.

British work culture is unique – they work hard and they play hard. Long hours in the office are offset by plenty of after-work drinks and meals. Get ready to buy a round of drinks – and in turn, you’ll have your drinks bought for you too. Brits are often light-hearted and humorous, so dive in and join in on the fun!

London’s dotted map of landmarks, galleries, museums, restaurants and bars is all connected by a vast public transport system. Use it to get around, or hop in a black cab or an iconic red double-decker bus. Navigating London can be tricky at first, but you’ll soon get the hang of it.

Immersive workshop

Career coaching & support

In your personalized career coaching session, you’ll work with a qualified coach to look back at your experiences and plan ahead for the future. Some interns leave these sessions with a brand new aspiration; others feel more secure about their chosen goals.

Of course, your diary will be pretty full. You’ll have plenty of meetings, industry events, trips, and socials to worry about already – so you can fit this in at a time that works for you.

If you fancy an early appointment, you’ll be able to set out a game plan for the upcoming weeks. Or a session half-way through is a good way to consider your progress so far; while adjusting for your remaining time in London.

Alternatively, take a meeting towards the end of your internship to reflect on what you’ve learned; all while planning out your next steps for future success.

At any time during your program, you’ll also have access to personalized career advice and interview tips. Whether you’d like advice on your resume and LinkedIn page, or assistance in preparing a professional portfolio, we’ll be able to help.
