Mackenzie Ambassadors

The Mackenzie Presbyterian University welcomes, every semester, foreign students of different nationalities, as one of the actions resulting from the agreements and partnerships for academic mobility.

In consideration of Institutional Strategic Planning, MPU’s Internationalization Plan foresees actions to the receptivity of foreign students in mobility in the Mackenzian community.

The experience of foreign educational institutions has inspired the creation of the MPU International Ambassador Program (IAP), as part of the internationalization development of our University.

The IAP objectives are:

a) to facilitate the integration of foreign students into the MPU student body and faculty;
b) to promote the formation of international relations networks among MPU students and foreign institution students;
c) to promote the university internationalization;
d) to foster the consolidation of the program for the reception of foreigners in MPU.
