This paper analyzes the internationalization processes of the Adventist University of Chile, with emphasis on the pandemic period. The research has a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional design. The sample was intentional with 288 informants. A questionnaire was applied, and the results highlight the growth of internationalization instances since 2019, exceeding the participation of people linked to the institution taking advantage of virtuality in a pandemic context in 2020. Over 50% of the internationalization instances are given by agreements, evidencing that there is a threshold of institutional relationships that can be consolidated from agreements between universities and institutions. Although internationalization has involved relations in several continents, Latin American countries are the ones that have been able to participate in the greatest number of instances of internationalization. The pandemic has found in virtuality an alternative to generate, increase and consolidate the instances of university internationalization.

Keywords : university; internationalization; exchange; academic mobility; virtuality; pandemic.
