Explanation:
You can be as vague as the original. "Post-graduate studies" does not really say if he obtained the degree or not.
Good luck.

My preparation for a master's


Explanation:
The masdar تمهيد means preparation. With the final ـي it means my preparation. ماجستير means Master's. What Ahmad proposes in my opinion, my preliminary studies for a master's is also feasibile. The problem is the pronoun at the end of the masdar which would make it " my preparation."

agree  John Colangelo: I challenge this translation. Sorry Fuad ... I have never seen pre MBA except in the link you have shown me. And it seems that is just to prepare foreign students to be able to do a Masters in English. I apologize again Fuad. I googled pre MBA: it exists.
