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
