Education / Pedagogy / Master's Degree Certificate | | Spanish term or phrase: aprobado con distinción máxima | Certifico que el 05 de Junio de 2007 el Rector de la Universidad de Chile otorgó a doña AAAAAAA, el grado de MAGÍSTER EN ANTROPOLOGÍA Y DESARROLLO y fue aprobado con distinción máxima 6,7.
My translation is for Canada. Should I use "honors" here, or will a literal translation be all right?
TIA! |
| | | passed with distinction / awarded a pass with distinction | Explanation:
Having just completed an MA, I can say with absolute certainty that here in the UK, aprobado con distincion equates to a pass with distinction, or passing with distinction. In the old system, the term First Class Honours was used, but this has been replaced in the UK (although not in Ireland). :)
