Seoul Internships
About the Program
Seoul (서울) is unlike anywhere in the world; ranking 10th among the world’s largest economic powers and 5th in the Asia-Pacific region, South Korea is famous for its spectacular rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to a developed, high-income country in just one generation. Seoul is known for its lively neighborhoods, eclectic fashion scene, and its delicious local street food, as well as for being the home of K-Pop (Hallyu). Despite being part of a technologically advanced country, Seoul is famous for its historical sites such as Bongeunsa Temple, located in the famous Gangnam street, as well as its traditional culture.

Are these internships paid?
Generally, no.
Work-based learning is regarded as an educational opportunity, and more often than not visa specifications require that internships be unpaid.
Nevertheless, in rare cases, some interns can and do receive remuneration.
Our placement team will not make this a priority when searching for your internship and we therefore recommend that you assume your internship will be unpaid.
Do you provide flights?
Flights are not included in the price but we can help suggest flights for you in advance.
Can I get Korean lessons?
We will help organise group lessons for participants who want to learn Korean. This is not included in the program fee. Please speak to the Absolute Internship team before arrival in order to arrange your language lessons.
