What is mobility?

It is defined as “the activity that allows a university student to experience a different academic life in another institution”, where EXPERIENCE is the key word, as aside from giving academic experience, it offers them the opportunity to discover a new culture, to learn another language, to develop social skills and to obtain independence and responsibility for adaptability growth.

The learning gained from this experience doesn't finish when coming back, it lasts a life time. Participating in a program and being able to make friends from all over the world, are some of the best ways to obtain a global vision of current political, economic and social topics.

For the above reasons, UNAQ encourages students to participate in different mobility programs to apply their acquired knowledge in other countries, and be part of #EmbajadoresUNAQ
