The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV), with its international exchange program for undergraduate students, offers young people opportunities to expand their academic, social, cultural and personal horizons in general, through its more than 600 international agreements with institutions of higher education in different parts of the world. This allows the future professionals of the careers taught by the university to have this experience and sense of globalized reality.
Internationalization is a significant pillar for PUCV, as enshrined in one of its strategic guidelines, specifically stating: "Internationalization for Integration in a Global Society". Thus, interacting with students and professors from different countries and cultures contributes to those who will have, in the future, the responsibility of leading and making decisions at different levels and organizations, to have a better understanding of today's interconnected, dependent and interdependent world.
One of the most striking testimonials to the effectiveness of these programs is the personal and professional growth that students experience. Many of them return with a new perspective, ready to face the challenges that will arise in their own jobs, now with a global vision and a deep understanding of intercultural relations.
The PUCV, through its International Exchange Office of the General Directorate of International Affairs, focuses its work on promoting opportunities for young people to have this experience beyond national borders.
