French term or phrase: DESS
Bonjour, j'essaie de traduire mon CV en anglais et je souhaiterais savoir quel est l'équivalent du DESS ? le "master's degree" ou le "postgraduate diploma" ? '(ou autre chose encore).
Merci !

Master's Degree
Explanation:
j'opterais pour le Master's Degree car le DEA (équivalent en niveau d'études) est appelé ainsi. De plus, avec la nouvelle réforme, les DESS et DEA n'existent plus, il n'y a que des Master ("recherche" ou "professionnel", il me semble).
