Education / Pedagogy / list of courses and subject
Dutch term or phrase: algemeen beroepsoverstijgend vak
Weet iemand een goede vertaling hiervoor? Geen verdere context beschikbaar helaas, de term staat in een lijst met vaknamen voor Hoger Beroepsonderwijs. Ikzelf kom uit op "Profession-exceeding general course (subject)". Lastige beperking: de vertaling mag niet meer dan 40 karakters bevatten! Any help appreciated, TIA!

generalist course
Explanation:
A generalist course is one that is not unique to or specifically for your field of study. E.g. if you were studying for a professional qualification in retail management, a course in presentation skills might be very useful, but it is considered generalist (beroepsoverstijgend) because it is useful in many other professions too.
