International strategy

In the global context we currently find ourselves in, it is positive to participate in international networks, strategic consortia, knowledge alliances, national or international mobility programmes. This allows students, teaching and research staff, and administration and service personnel to interact with people from different cultures and thus acquire the necessary capacity to leave their comfort zone, learn to compete ethically, and obtain or improve the skills needed to overcome challenges.

Carrying out studies and internships abroad does not only help improve the curriculum, but also offers a series of additional advantages, such as learning languages, discovering different cultures, acquiring independence, creating personal and professional networks. It’s experience in life!

To achieve a higher level of internationalisation in our institution, the 1st Internationalisation Plan of the Universidade de Vigo focuses on the following objectives:

  1. Promotion of international cooperation through agreements with foreign institutions, promotion of international double degrees and joint degrees, internationalisation at home, membership of international organisations and networks, etc.

  2. Promotion of mobility within and outside Europe, always with a sustainable and inclusive perspective. Erasmus+ programme, own mobility programmes, SICUE, GE4, ISEP, Vulcanus, etc.

  3. Recruitment of international talent and creation of a Welcome Center.

  4. Improving multilingualism at the university through teaching programmes in English, English Friendly subjects, training courses in languages and culture, etc.

  5. Membership of the European University ATHENA
