Internationalization
The SLMANDIC Professional Master's program has three pillars as its internationalization strategy:
1) Attracting foreign students to SLMANDIC's postgraduate courses;
2) Student mobility to foreign countries;
3) Easier mobility for faculty abroad, as mentioned in the previous items.
It is an institutional commitment to guarantee all the necessary infrastructure to achieve these objectives, and to demonstrate this institutional commitment to internationalization, SLMANDIC has established an Internationalization Committee responsible for systematizing international agreements and conventions on teaching, faculty and student mobility, as well as coordinating activities aimed at cooperation and exchange programs.
Considering internationalization and the increase in international scientific exchange among faculty and students, the SLMANDIC Professional Master's Program has encouraged the exchange of professors with leading universities in research and international recognition, through postdoctoral internships. Furthermore, courses taught and presentations of scientific papers at international events are strongly encouraged within the institution. Internal regulations provide financial resources to cover conference registration, airfare, and accommodation for students and professors. See below:
