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

Curious about London life? Here’s the typical experience of an intern, based on a 6-week technology & software engineering internship.

Weeks 1 & 2

You’ve finally landed in London. Months of anticipation and planning have finally paid off, and you couldn’t be more excited. First up, meet us at the airport and we’ll take you straight to your new accommodation.

How you spend your first day is up to you. Some interns lay low at home or a nearby café to acclimatise to their new city. Whereas others like to get out there and explore immediately. Either way, join us on day two for your orientation. We’ll familiarize you with what awaits you on your program. Afterwards, meet your Beyond Community. This is a great opportunity to start building friendships that will last you for life.

On your first day of work, head over to the office and make a good first impression on your team. After a busy day, you might want to kick back at a community dinner. Your new friends will be excited to learn how it went; chat over a selection of delicious food. To get home, navigate London’s public transport system; grab a black cab, red bus, or the Tube.

Throughout your internship, you’ll often be met with brand new and unexpected challenges. Some interns like to prepare for what lies ahead with an early skills workshop. Working with coaches and speakers, you’ll take part in a range of exercises; you’ll leave keen to apply your new skills to your internship!

It’s already time for your first day trip: Cambridge. Immerse yourself in this magical, quintessentially English city; discover the River Cam as well as a range of historical sites. Make sure you purchase a souvenir before you leave!

Weeks 3 & 4

As the weeks pass, you’ll soon feel more comfortable in your role. From producing detailed reports on industry trends to constantly innovating to speed up your workflow. So why not head out to a trendy café with your manager to discuss your progression?

A diverse city that never sleeps, London is packed with opportunity. To develop your growing network, we’ll send you an invite to a top industry networking event. Get out there and impress tech industry leaders; play your cards right and job offers may be round the corner.

For your second trip, you’ll journey to the West End for a fantastic night out. Experience an unforgettable theater show and complete the evening with delicious dinner.

Weeks 5 & 6

As your internship comes to a close, you’ve been thinking back on your achievements: professional tech experience; a cultural immersion like no other; and life-long friends and contacts. It’s a lot to have packed into just six weeks, but you’ve managed it.

So now’s a good time to take your career session with a qualified coach. Look back at your progress, thinking critically about your successes; then set out a roadmap for your next steps.

Your final trip is a food tour. Discover London’s diverse culinary culture as you follow a guide through the city’s streets, alleys and markets. You’ll learn a bit of local history too; it’s a great way to cap off your experience.

However, your very last scheduled event is your farewell dinner. Enjoy the company of your Beyond Community one last time. Look back on your time in London before you swap contact details and arrange your first group meet-up! In your last few days you’ll want to get as much out of the city as you can. Visit the British Museum to uncover artifacts from all over the globe; or head up the Shard or Sky Garden for an unmissable panoramic view. You’ll undoubtedly miss London, so make the most of it.

The interns are amazing here so we have been hanging out and getting to know each other and exploring Seoul. It’s really just been a full experience that I have been embracing every single day. I work in a team who creates content relating to K-pop. My favourite part of interning is getting to know my coworkers, being around a group of people that are just so kind and inviting, working alongside them every day has been the best experience. I had been hearing about Beyond Academy for quite some time and I read some really great reviews. I wanted to get the work and life balance, which Beyond offered.
