agree  Chris Hopley: According to Nuffic, it's "equvialent" to HBO in NL. But then, so is a Bachelor's from a UK university. Apples and oranges, methinks...

"College degree in translation"


Explanation:
There is no absolute equivalent for "licentiaat vertaler" into English. Being a "licentiaat vertaler" myself, the "licentiaat" degree is closer to a Master's than to a Bachelor's. It is typically a 4-year program, with the first 2 years leading to an intermediate title of "Candidaat vertaler"; completion of the next 2 years results in the "licentiaat vertaler" degree. It is my understanding that Belgian colleges and universities are shifting now more and more towards a US style curriculum with semesters and credits.
