Internationalization at UPS is a strategic axis that promotes the holistic, intercultural, and solidarity-based formation of our university community. Inspired by the Salesian charism, we foster the development of global competencies and the strengthening of the ethical-social commitment of our students, faculty, and researchers. Through the establishment of links with higher education institutions, academic networks, and international organizations, we contribute to the strengthening of teaching, research, and social engagement. Our approach is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting knowledge exchange, intercultural dialogue, and international cooperation as tools to transform our communities.

Academic Mobility
Academic mobility at UPS is a key tool for the global education of our students, faculty, and administrative staff. Through bilateral agreements, multilateral programs, and international projects, we facilitate our community’s participation in formative experiences in diverse cultural and academic contexts. These experiences transform not only knowledge but also perspectives, broadening horizons, strengthening intercultural competencies, and promoting global citizenship.

Global Alumni
The Salesian Polytechnic University opens its doors to international students with the aim of offering not only a quality academic education, but also a comprehensive experience that allows them to learn and live closely our values, culture and traditions. For this reason, we have developed the UPS Global program, an enriching proposal that includes a variety of extracurricular activities especially designed for our visitors.
