Not Just a Bali Internship.
A 3–6 Month Career Accelerator.

EX Academy is a selective, fully-funded Bali internship program where 12 candidates selected from 25,000+ applicants spend 3–6 months working on real engineering, AI, and grant writing projects for our portfolio companies. This isn't a classroom exercise — it's a real entrance into companies like Seraph Vision, Terminal AI, and the Zero X Group. Top fellows from our internship programs in Bali have also been placed at EY and Goldman Sachs.

Housing, meals, and mentorship are fully covered. We invest in you because we're looking for future leaders. Many of our previous fellows have become full-time team members across our portfolio.

Why Choose a Bali Internship

The Complete Guide to Internship Programs in Bali

A Bali internship offers a unique combination of professional development and cultural immersion that traditional internship programs simply cannot match. At EX Academy, we have designed the most selective internship program in Bali — accepting only 12 fellows per cohort from over 25,000 applicants worldwide. Our student internship in Bali combines hands-on startup experience with structured AI and entrepreneurship education, all set against the inspiring backdrop of Canggu's thriving digital nomad community.

Unlike generic internship programs in Bali that focus solely on cultural tourism or language learning, EX Academy's fellowship is a genuine career accelerator. Our fellows work inside real portfolio companies — including Seraph Vision (biotech), Terminal AI (artificial intelligence), and Zero X Group (deep tech) — on projects that have measurable business impact. This is not a classroom simulation. It is a real hiring funnel where the best performers are recruited into full-time positions.

What Makes EX Academy Different from Other Bali Internships?

Most Bali internship opportunities are unpaid placements at small local businesses with limited career relevance. EX Academy operates at an entirely different level. Our program is fully funded — fellows receive premium villa accommodation, daily meals, expert mentorship, and access to a global network of founders and investors, all at no cost. The EX Fellowship runs for 3–6 months, giving fellows enough time to develop real expertise and make meaningful contributions to their assigned companies.

Our alumni have gone on to roles at Goldman Sachs, EY, and across our portfolio of deep-tech startups. Many chose to intern in Bali specifically because of the unique combination of intensive work culture and quality of life that Canggu offers. The low cost of living, year-round tropical climate, and vibrant international community create an environment where ambitious young professionals can focus entirely on growth.

International Internship in Bali — Who Should Apply?

EX Academy's international internship in Bali is designed for ambitious university students and recent graduates from any country. We accept applicants from all academic backgrounds — from computer science and engineering to business, design, and the humanities. What matters is not your degree but your drive, creativity, and willingness to work at startup speed. European students can leverage Erasmus+ funding to support their participation, making this one of the most accessible elite fellowship programs in the world.

Our Bali internship for students covers six core curriculum modules: AI Fundamentals & Machine Learning, Business Strategy & Startup Operations, Grant Writing & Fundraising, Product Development, Leadership & Team Management, and a Capstone Project. Each module combines theoretical instruction from industry experts with practical application inside real companies. Fellows graduate with a portfolio of real work, a global professional network, and — for the top performers — a job offer.

How to Find the Best Internship in Bali

When searching for the best internship companies in Bali, look for programs that offer structured learning, real project work, and clear career outcomes. EX Academy checks every box: a rigorous application process (video pitch, portfolio review, and essay), a structured 80+ hour curriculum, placements at funded startups, and a track record of alumni who have been hired into full-time roles. Our 95% satisfaction rate and 0.05% acceptance rate speak for themselves.

Whether you are looking for an AI internship in Bali, a startup internship, or a broader entrepreneurship fellowship, EX Academy offers the most comprehensive and career-relevant program available. Applications for Summer 2026 are now open. With only 12 spots per cohort, early application is strongly recommended.
