Many accents are heard at EAFIT, where foreign students from different countries come to further their studies and choose our institution as their academic destination.
Likewise, in keeping with our university’s goal to train globally competent professionals, EAFIT students do academic coursework in other countries.
This chance to experience other parts of the world arises for different reasons, including opportunities for students to take part in internship semesters, perfect language skills and further their academic development.
As a result of EAFIT’s participation in interuniversity projects all over the world, professors, lecturers and researchers visit our university from abroad and some members of our community travel to other countries. In both cases, we stay true to our promise of being a university that is open to the world.
In addition, the university, through its different departments, accompanies foreign students every step of the way, starting with the trip from their home country. Upon arrival in Colombia, they receive help in obtaining a visa, as well as with transportation to Medellín, housing, opening a bank account and even other social, tourist or cultural activities that the new member of the EAFIT community wants to enjoy.
