Internationalization

The goal of the internationalization of higher education is to contribute to the students’ formation by developing in them a number of competencies, some of them general and some specific, which include an understanding of the global environment in the 21st century in all its social, economic, and political complexity, as well as the ability to interact in multi-cultural environments, with values different from their own, appreciating people’s cultural diversity. Another goal of internationalization is the civic formation of students, extending their participation in both the local and the global scene.
