Explanation:
I would just say school or higher education institution, because the idea is that it's not state-run, isn't it? So anything that shows that it's private/independent.

Το Εργαστήριο Ελευθέρων Σπουδών metaφραση ιδρύθηκε από καθηγητές του Βρετανικού Συμβουλίου Αθηνών με 15ετή πείρα στον τομέα των μεταφραστικών σπουδών.=
The metaφραση School of Translation Studies was founded by British Council translation teachers with 15 years of educational and professional experience in translation.

Εργαστήριο Ελεύθερων Σπουδών
Laboratory of Liberal Studies


Explanation:
Φοβάμαι ότι η επίσημη μετάφραση είναι η πιστή.

He further declared that "if the diploma awarded to a Greek student through a university with a legally franchised Greek Laboratory of Liberal Studies is not recognized, that student has no alternative but to go to the Greek courts to ask for restitution."

EES (Laboratories of Liberal Studies, Ergastiria Eleutheron Spoudon): Private universities and colleges, often franchises of foreign universities. For example see University of Wales at Bangor and Mediterranean College.
[http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/E/Ed/Education...]

In Greece only one in three successful students in the university entrance exam is offered a place, which accounts for the great mobility of Greek students within the EU and the enormous demand for places on programmes leading to foreign qualifications, mainly British, offered at Greek establishments called ‘laboratories of liberal studies’.

neutral  flipendo: Καλημέρα, Νίκο. Είναι κάπως...περίεργη, αλλόκοτη η μετάφραση και φοβάμαι ότι απλώς καθιερώθηκε μια εξ αρχής λανθασμένη απόδοση. Όλα τα εργαστ. ελ. σπουδών στην Ελλάδα ή colleges ή schools τα ξέρουμε

  -> Το Liberal Studies, μ' αρέσει. Αλλά εκείνο το Laboratories στο στομάχι μού κάθεται κι εμένα. Θα προτιμούσα κάτι σε Centre, College, School...

To "εργαστήριο" είναι ελληνική εκ του πονηρού επινόηση επειδή η νομοθεσία απαγορεύει σε ιδιώτες πυο προσφέρουν εκπαιδευτικές υπηρεσίες να χρησιμοποιούν στον τίτλο τους λέξεις όπως "Σχολή", "Ινστιτούτο", "Κολέγιο", "Ακαδημία" κλπ
