This qualitative research, guided by the Weberian comprehensive method, aimed to understand the teacher's role in the internationalization process in the Postgraduate Programs of a municipal public institution of higher education. We seek to characterize the actions of teachers, as well as apprehend their reasons, in the internationalization process. Regarding the theoretical framework, the studies of Knight, Sanderson, among others, supported the analysis of the empirical material. Regarding the instruments for data generation and research sources, we conducted analysis of documents from public archives and semi-structured interviews with four teachers linked to the institution. The results indicated, in the teachers' performance, intellectual production, academic-scientific exchange, intercultural management, and internationalization of the curriculum, as types of rational action in purpose and values. Therefore, we understand that the role of postgraduate teachers is shaped by their cosmopolitan role in the process of intra-institutional internationalization.
