Spanish term or phrase: Tipo de curso: afín
Bueno, esta es ya la última pregunta:
En un certificado académico personal de un estudiante que ha finalizado su doctorado, y que ha sido expedido por la Universitat de Barcelona aparece:

Tipo de curso:
F: fundamental
M: metodológico
A: afín
T: trabajo

NO entiendo lo que significa un curso "afín", y de ahí mi duda a la hora de tener que traducirlo.
Any help?

Gracias

Type of course: related field(s)
Explanation:
I would express it this way. "Afín" is defined in doctoral programmes as a course in a field separate from that of the main programme but related to it:

"Los Programas de Doctorado deberán comprender:
-Cursos o seminarios sobre los contenidos fundamentales de los campos científico, técnico o artístico a los que esté dedicado el Programa de Doctorado correspondiente.
-Cursos o seminarios relacionados con la metodología y formación en técnicas de investigación.
-Trabajos de investigación tutelados.
-Cursos o seminarios relacionados con campos afines al del Programa y que sean de interés para el proyecto de tesis doctoral del doctorando."

Type of course: complementary


Explanation:
Many PhD programmes offer complementary courses which are, as the term suggests, related to the PhD topic or the methodology employed, or an additional language course, etc.
