This paper aims at integrating internationalization in university teaching strategies to improve high learning through “internationalization at home” activities that permit the development of students’ skills and values. This would allow for an internationalized vision of the alumni for their professional performance in a globalized, competitive world. Indeed, internationalization should not be viewed as a series of isolated events through which a limited number of people lives an experience abroad but as way for a larger number of individuals to perceive its benefits by means of an educational plan; that is, an international perspective from teaching strategies in higher learning. To do this, a three-phase analysis process is proposed: diagnosis, planning/development and evaluation. In addition, different possible activities with an international component are mentioned to make them part of the teaching strategies according the students’ levels and course objectives. Throughout the analysis for the present proposal, it has been possible to conclude that with the work done in the classroom very valuable skills can be developed in university students for their academic and professional growth, which would fit the current demands of the new millennium.
