Internships Beyond Borders

London

You’ll find yourself getting acquainted with British work culture as you intern here. With plenty of working lunches and after-work drinks, you’ll have the chance to informally get to know your colleagues and learn how the Brits do it. Don’t be surprised when it’s your turn to get a round of drinks in!

New York

Young, diverse and thriving, New York is an international hotspot for finance, media, culture, and much more besides! From fledgling small businesses to big corporations, Human Resources specialists have the chance to make their mark in any number of ways in the Big Apple; the city’s large immigrant population means that there’s always a new way of looking at things.

Seoul

Seoul’s business culture is probably unlike anything you’ve encountered before, but you’ll learn a lot here. Deference is key in South Korean culture, and politeness will take you a long way. But South Koreans are also highly collaborative and respectful; the strategies you pick up here will give you a unique edge in your HR career.

Tokyo

Tokyo walks a fine line between high-tech metropolis and traditional culture; as a result, any HR intern will find themselves with a great challenge to sink their teeth into. Just remember to bow instead of shaking hands, while many Japanese professionals will shake hands to accommodate you, a small gesture of respect for your host culture will go a long way.

Hear from Beyond Academy Alumni

“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.”

Jordan from the United States
Marketing Intern, Seoul Immersive Program

“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

“I knew with Beyond I was in safe hands, the communication I got form day one was amazing. Thankfully I got put into an excellent internship in investment firm, and I am loving it so far, I love using the insights and experiences that I have learnt in my degree and putting that to use in the workplace.”

Clodagh from Ireland
Investment Intern, London Immersive Program

What to Expect

All human resources roles keep people at the center of all things, but that could take on any form. From the traditional role of human resources officer to the innovative role of occupational psychologist you’ll spend your time thinking about how different actions affect employees.

You might be working with an independent career coach, taking notes about how to help people work through big decisions and discover their passion or you could be working with a recruitment agency to screen candidates and find the best match for an open position.

Wherever you find yourself, you’ll gain an understanding of employee relations and learn to work well under pressure. The skills you gain will be sought after by employers worldwide and can even lead into consulting work if you decide to pursue that path, so set yourself up for success with a human resources internship!

Testimonials

Ryan, US

My Tokyo HR internship was absolutely fascinating. There’s something about learning a totally new style of conducting business that makes me look back on my own cultural practises in a new light. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of stepping out of their comfort zone and into something new.

Nancy, Canada

I think human resources is about how to bridge the gap between opposing sides, and I don’t think I’d have nearly as good a grasp on doing that if I hadn’t interned in London. My outsider perspective was sometimes exactly what we needed – thanks so much to Beyond Academy for making this possible!

Hugh, UK

Couldn’t speak more highly of my internship. The Beyond team were just the best and really did everything they could to make me feel at home. Any problems I had were fixed as soon as possible – 5 stars!
