German term

Kernbereich und Erweiterungsbereich

German to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Hi all

I am translating a grade transcript from a Höhere Lehranstalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe und Tourismus. The subjects studied have been divided into 'Kernbereich' (which I think would be translated as 'core areas') and 'Erweiterungsbereich'. I would appreciate any advice on how to translate these.

Thank you.

core and supplementary/specialist subjects

'Kernbereich' describes the core subject area, or key subjects, and 'Erweiterungsbereich' refers to subject areas that extend beyond the core subject areas and are known as supplementary or specialist subjects, which may or not be optional.

If you are still in the catering industry domain, the core subject may be kitchen management and food service, while supplementary subjects may be nutrition, food hygiene, bar service, health and safety etc.

basic/core and extensive/extended studies

According the dictionaries. There is a better word for "core" studies, that isn't in the dictionary, but it just won't come to me right now.

I would also like to offer "advanced studies"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Sarah Bessioud : Sorry Ramey, I'm not too sure about extensive/extended. This implies to me that the studies are extended in duration, rather than in content.

No problem, Jeux de Mots, it was advanced, that escaped me, core is correct.
