Resumen

This study aimed to assess intercultural communicative competence among 151 students at a private Peruvian university in the post-pandemic period. Through a cross-sectional design, data were gathered using a Likert scale test and analyzed with the KMeans cluster technique. Three groups were identified with varying levels of intercultural competence: low (33.8%), medium (38.4%), and high (27.8%). Difficulties in interpreting intercultural situations and limited sensitivity to cultural stereotypes were observed. The conclusion highlights the importance of developing intercultural knowledge and sensitivities among university students to improve their ability to interact in diversified contexts.
