Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio realizado en el ámbito brasilero de la Educación Superior que buscó analizar las contribuciones de la internacionalización al desarrollo de competencias interculturales en los estudiantes de las instituciones miembros de FAUBAI- Associação Brasileira de Educação Internacional. La metodología utilizada fue el Estudio Explicativo Secuencial de Método Mixto con predominancia cualitativa, lo que permitió combinar cuestionarios iniciales con entrevistas semiestructuradas. En ambas instancias se trabajó con gestores de las oficinas de relaciones internacionales y con estudiantes. El aporte práctico más relevante de este trabajo es el abordaje inédito del estudio de las competencias interculturales, analizadas como resultado del proceso de internacionalización, en tanto que los principales aportes a la teoría están constituidos por las primeras definiciones locales de competencia intercultural y de interculturalidad, las que resultaron de una construcción colectiva a partir de los comentarios de los sujetos de la investigación.
