Internationalization at the University of Sinú, Cartagena branch, is a cross-cutting, systematic, and progressive process of integrating national and international relations elements into the institution's core functions and academic programs. This process opens spaces with the purpose of generating international, multicultural, and global competencies within the university community, so that professionals are trained as global citizens.

The process of internationalization is the response to the phenomenon of globalization which fosters ties of cooperation and integration with institutions and organizations in the world.

This process confers the incorporation of the international dimension to the functions of teaching, research, social projection, and institutional management by virtue of academic quality and institutional competitiveness.
