\"carrera\" usually is not \"career\" as far as education is concerned, since \"career\" is the actual profession and does nto refer to the study curriculum of degree course to be followed. This was shown in Diccionario de términos equívocosby the Spaniard that is a former translator in the United Nations (his name slips my mind right now - sorry). A more informal way of translating degree course ie \"major\".

head of the career in Medicine, School of Medicine


Explanation:
I don't think you can use department because it is a careeer in the
School of medicine. For example the career of Translator is within the School of Law in Buenos Aires.In your translation career and school coincide.
