| | Explanation Below | Explanation:
This is the grade obtained in the degree.....
I'd translate it as the equivalent to "notable" in Spain (I presume it's for a Spanish client).
The best grade is a First, roughly equivalent to Matricula de Honor.
Then comes second class, first division (2.1), more or less sobresaliente.
Next would be second class, second division (2.2), which is the equivalent of notable.
I hope this is of some use to use.
All the best,

| Grading comment Thanks to Paul and you all. I finally had a chance to discuss the matter with someone working at the office where diplomas and titles are filed and was told to translate it as "notable" but leave the English in brackets. Pampi

5 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 Notable alto
Explanation:
Pienso que se trata de la calificación media de la licenciatura o carrera, que en España equivaldría a un Notable alto.
Un saludo

Por supuesto. Lo ideal tal vez sería poner \"equivalente a notable alto\", o algo parecido.

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 con honores / Distinción / Notable
Explanation:
Hola María
estudié en una univ. con sistema inglés y el sistema es muy diferente al de España e Hispanoamérica. En lo posible debemos traducir lo que dice el título y las autoridades correspondientes darán las equivalencias. "Honours" es con honores (notable alto = A y notable = B en Esp.), (con 1 voto - 2 votos de distinción en Chile) y así imagino que cada país tendrá su propio sistema. En todo caso hay honores de primera y segunda clase (promedio A y B respectivamente)y primera y segunda división (A+ / A- y B+ / B-). El título que tienes que traducir equivale a una B- y para evitar el "segunda clase, segunda división" te sugiero traducir con (1 voto de) distinción. Espero no haberte confundido mucho.
