Global Initiatives

The Department of Global Initiatives acts as a bridge between Corpistas and the world beyond, encouraging the students, teachers, and administrative staff in our community to reach across borders therefore giving the university a key role at a local, national, and international level. This process extends continual and quality development opportunities for Corpas, while also applying knowledge to contribute to sustainable development processes and quality of life improvements. 

Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas asserts its commitment to strengthening and growing itself from within through the international, symbiotic relationships it has fostered with relevant academic, scientific, and socio-cultural institutions and stakeholders, all in pursuit of generating and transmitting knowledge while driving positive social impacts.

We look to put the institution on a global stage and, in this way, encourage the world back into our university.

Corpista Students

If you wish to participate in any of our international mobilities, you must meet the following minimum requirements:
  • Be an enrolled student, currently studying at Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas
  • Have a minimum average grade of 3.5
  • Not have any unresolved academic or disciplinary proceedings
  •  Fill out the application form to access our international mobility students”. 
  • Additional requirements may vary depending on the program you are applying to

During your international mobility, you will be responsible for covering all expenses related to airfare, basic living costs, and public transportation. However, in most cases—provided there is a collaboration agreement in place—you will not be required to pay tuition fees, as these will be covered by Corpas.

The language requirements may vary by program and destination, but a minimum level of skill in the language used for classes and activities may be necessary.

Most international cooperation project opportunities are led by our academic programs, research initiatives, and investigation groups. The best way to get involved is to maintain a strong academic record and actively participate in the various extracurricular activities offered by Fundación Universitaria Juan N. Corpas.

The Department of Global Initiatives continuously provides internationalization opportunities for the entire Corpista community through this website, email communications, and social media channels.
