depends In the U.S. (and maybe the U.K.), a "finish carpenter" is a subspecialty devoted to, say, hanging doors, doing the interior trim, (possibly) kitchen cabinetwork, etc.

This course might go beyond that, into other sorts of work like painting (interior or exterior), plastering/stuccowork (interior or exterior) , etc. --basically, anything which involves the "final touches" to the structure, beyond the fundamentals of designing and building it.

Since you don't seem to know exactly what the course covers --interior or exterior, perhaps even such things as plumbing & electrical work, you're pretty much stuck with Jack's suggestion: just leave it. Or, perhaps, "Finish work" might be appropriate. But, I prefer simple "Finishing."

Finishing I am aware what finishing is. But I cannot find what UK universities call the course which covers this subject. I believe there may be a more elaborate name for a university course covering this.
