Introduction:

The internationalization of professional education in sports universities is a latent need involving every university actor to improve scientific and academic quality.

Aim:

To suggest implementing a strategy that contributes to professional education in sports universities.

Materials and methods:

This study relied on materialist dialectics as the philosophy of any given method that will be used, the theory of knowledge and logic. Besides, theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods were used. The expert opinion and Iadov's techniques were used as well.

Results:

the actions included in the strategy suggested favored the preparation of the managing body, the teaching staff, and students. The implementation of this strategy contributed to greater academic and scientific quality and broader international expansion of the university. Hence, the control, evaluation, and accreditation processes will provide room for assessment and self-assessment on a systematic basis, concerning the advances and setbacks of the internationalization process.

Conclusions:

the implementation of the internationalization strategy for professional education has engaged the university community, as part of the international and inter-cultural dimension of the major roles of the institution, and engaged the academic and scientific community to a broader extent.
