Education / Pedagogy
CV
From an Austrian CV of 'diplomlomierte Gesundheits und Krankenschwester', acting as an auditor for clinical trials.
"Mag (FH) + NAME" at the top of the CV
I'm especially interested in FH, but also whether I should translate Mag as MA or at all [ or in any other way], considering that in Austria every univ. graduate gets a Mag. title.

Selected
Fachhochschule
I always translate Mag. as mag. (and put in brackets that it's roughly equivalent to a masters). FH is fachhochchule (= university of applied sciences in most official sources). Not all austrian graduates get a Mag. - there is now the BA
