Third year BA International (full time)
Explanation:
"FT" must mean "full time"; fees are different for full-time and part-time students. "Int'l" could conceivably be "Internal", but it nearly always means "International" in a context like this. Although this could refer to a BA degree program(me) in International Studies or International Relations, I think it is more likely, in the context of fees, that it refers to international students (ie. students from abroad rather than from the country where the university is located). Again, fees tend to be higher for international students than for domestic ones.

You have not revealed the name of the university, so I will not mention it either, though from other questions you have asked I think it is in Canada. Here is a page on Canadian university fees, which supports the interpretation I have offered:

"Tuition fees by university

University tuition fees for full-time Canadian and international students in an arts and humanities program at the undergraduate level at AUCC member institutions, 2011 – 2012"

I don't know whether you should translate it or leave it in English; if you're in doubt, perhaps you should ask your client. However, I can't see any reason not to translate it, and Spanish readers may need to know what it means. It could be "Tercer año ["tercer curso" for Spain], B.A., estudiantes extranjeros (tiempo completo)". I wouldn't translate "BA"; I'd leave it as it is.

Sorry, I thought it was an English-English question. Now I see that it's English-Spanish. So my answer would be:

Tercer año, B.A., estudiantes extranjeros (tiempo completo)

Asker: Thanks. However, I'm reluctant to translating it. Should I leave it like that in English? I'm not so sure.
