Internships in South Korea

I had a wonderful time in Seoul which opened my eyes to a whole different side of the world and felt supported and encouraged to experience everything by beyond during my internship, getting to see everything that Seoul had to offer and more

I did a 5-month internship in South Korea through AIP's traveler program, which included the internship placement, accommodation, and an airport shuttle. It was an incredible experience living in Korea, and I had a lot of fun working in social media content creation. While my internship didn’t fully match my field of study, I still gained valuable experience. The accommodation was about 40 minutes from my workplace, and I appreciated having direct contact with the landlord in case of any issues. The organisation handled the booking, which was convenient, though the overall cost reflected the convenience and support provided. That being said, for those who have never been abroad alone, it might be worth it to avoid the hassle of arranging everything yourself. AIP provided general information about the visa process, but since it was a bit unclear to me, I reached out to the German visa office for further clarification. The initial arrival process was also a bit confusing, as I wasn’t sure where to go after being dropped off at my accommodation. Thankfully, I had the contact to my internship supervisor, who responded quickly when I needed guidance. Overall, AIP checked in with me occasionally, and the process of securing an internship was much easier than applying to companies directly. I’d recommend this program to those who have the budget for it and want a smoother transition into interning abroad, especially if it's their first time traveling alone. I am super happy with the experiences I had—definitely a time I won’t forget.
