Education / Pedagogy
Spanish term or phrase: Pasarela
En una certificación académica, me aparece lo siguiente:

De la superación de estas asignaturas / créditos, el alumno ha conseguido los siguientes hitos:
- Pasarela
-Tercer curso
-Cuarto curso
-Segundo Ciclo
-Licencia en Historia y Ciencia

¿Cómo traduciríais pasarela? Es que no voy a poner Gateway. Creo que no tiene nada que ver. Seguro que existe algún nombre acuñado para esto, que yo desconozco.

Mil gracias

magisterio o estudios de maestro como dices tú, eran 3 años (6 semestres) y se consideraban de primer ciclo, por lo que es necesario matricularse en el curso puente (dos semetres) y superarlo para poder acceder al segundo ciclo de la carrera de historia, cursos cuarto y quinto

Spain: Higher education up to doctoral level is structured primarily according to a unitary one-tier system. There is one doctorate level. Reforms in the university system during the 70s and 80s have integrated more and more former non-university studies in the universities, and many new universities have been established to cater for a growing demand. Higher education outside universities is limited to art and music. Universities are structured in Escuelas Universitarias (ES), Escuelas Tecnicas Superiores (EST) and Facultades (F). There are two types of first degrees: The Diplomado, Ingeniero or Arquitecto Técnicos awarded after normally two to three years in primarily professional fields of study. The Licenciatura is awarded usually after a consecutive two-cycle programme of normally four to five years of study. The first cycle is not a final one; it forms a basic, generalised curricular module in which the basic subjects are taught. Only the facultades of a university have the right to award Licenciatura degrees. Universities in Spain are characterised by very course-intensive programmes and many compulsory subjects. Around one third of the subjects are defined by the government and they are the same for all universities. Recent reforms include a higher degree of choice and more individual student work. The Pasarela systems makes it in many cases possible to pass from a first cycle qualification to a second cycle of different studies.Universities may also organise studies outside the officially regulated system - the so called titulos propios. These degrees do not have official status. Doctoral studies for the Doctorado requires three to four years.

bridging year


Explanation:
Bridging year, year three, year four...

The bridging year is required after completing a first-cycle degree if you want to study for a second cycle course. For instance, after Ingeniería Técnica Industrial (1st cycle), the curso pasarela/puente is required to study Ingeniería Industrial (Superior - 2nd cycle).

I think this is what we have here. Years one and two have been completed as part of another degree/course.
