Hannah, PR intern, shares her experience of 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
PR & Journalism Intern, London Immersive Program
“I am involved in Project Management, which is close to what I want to do in the future. One of my favorite parts of my internship is that I’m taken seriously. In the sense that after building up some trust and showing the company what I have to offer, What was great was that I was able to work on a project from start to finish and really get to know the while process, that really gives me a feeling of accomplishment.”
Karin from Austria
Project Management Intern, Tokyo Immersive Program
“My experience so far here has been amazing, it’s just a shock how much I have been enjoying 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. My favourite thing about Beyond are the connections I have made here and also the events that have been planned, it gets all of us out to embrace Korean culture.”

Sydney will soon be like a home-away-from-home and you’ll join the chilled out and flowing pace of life. If there is anything you need, or questions about places to shop, ways to get around, best things to see while ‘down under’, just let the community team know.

Your Sydney
program at a glance
See what awaits you – here’s a snapshot of what it’s like to intern in Sydney based on a typical 6-week program.
Weeks 1 & 2
It’s been a long flight, but you’re finally here! Unpack your sun-screen and jump right into your Sydney adventure.
Take a day to get settled into your new home, and head to your orientation and welcome dinner the next day. You’ll have a great time meeting the other interns and making new friends.
As your internship starts, enjoy the energising experience of learning new things every day. Say hello to your new team and get familiar with the Aussie work culture. End your day with an after-work dinner with our Community Team to chat and relax. Maybe fit in a harbourside walk on the way home?
Join others in our Business Workshop and dig into the tools and insights that can help you make the most out of your internship.
You’ll enjoy our trip to the Blue Mountains – a magical day-out that combines exquisite views, wildlife, and amazing facts about the area.
Weeks 3 & 4
Time to see how things are going – grab a coffee with your manager for a feedback session.
The business scene in Sydney is booming and we’ll be looking for the best networking events and securing you an invite.
As you explore the city’s lesser-known hideaways, our events will make sure you also check off the big ticket attractions. No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to the Opera House. Enjoy an opera masterpiece inside this extraordinary performance space, and end the night on a high savoring the wonders of the show with others over dinner.
Weeks 5 & 6
You’ll be hitting top gear in your internship now, so it’s a really good time to look to the future.

It’s nearly time to leave Australia, but not before a proper send-off at our farewell dinner. Say goodbye to the friends you’ve made, and arrange to meet up again soon. A last lamington with mates before heading back? Well, it’d be rude not to.
