INTEC has agreements with more than 200 universities and institutions in hundreds of countries, which facilitate students to take quarters in the exchange modality to enrich their academic experience.
Through this service, students from other countries can also come to INTEC to attend trimesters, which increasingly attracts university students from the United States and Europe.
So far, approximately 70 students of different INTEC careers have made mobility in universities in the United States, Costa Rica, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Puerto Rico, where they have had the opportunity to know other teaching systems, colleagues from other countries and the whole cultural experience of traveling.
María Luisa Ferrand, coordinator of Student Mobility indicates that the main personal and professional benefits of having this type of experience are that it complements the integral formation, through diverse academic scenarios and the multicultural experience; interaction with other cultures; broadens your vision of education and the global professional and gives more weight to your CV and job preparation.
