etudes approfondis
further studies


Explanation:
In England we quite often refer to 'further studies' (or in the singular 'further study') in a certain field or subject. It is a useful term to use because it does not specify at what level - and you do not always need to specify (or want to specify) whether it is a Bachelors, Masters, Diploma etc. So my opinion is "further studies" (in a certain field).

Example sentence(s):
  • I chose to undertake further studies in the field of Mathematics.
