English translation:specialising in computer science
Explanation:
I don't think it makes much sense. He specialises in computer science and that's what his/her degree is in - if he is doing a degree in computer science that will be what his degree is in, unless the meaning is that the degree is in science or technology with a computer science speciality. This is question for the client I think.

Major in Computer Science


Explanation:
Major in Computer Science
The computer science major is designed for students who have a good background in mathematics and an interest in the theory, practice, art, and science of computer programming. This major provides graduates with an educational foundation appropriate for careers in computer software or computer system design, including careers as software engineers, application software designers, system programmers, and system engineers.

Bachelor of Science with a major in computer science


Explanation:
This is basically how I would translate the whole thing. Perhaps this is a way to get around the redundancy of the repeated "informática".
Good luck.

neutral  María Angélica Fernández: Claro, es para toda la denominación del título universitario, yo hice referencia a éste en la segunda nota de la explicación que dí. Lo único que te tengo que puntualizar es que en la pregunta solo pide la parte de "especialidad informática"
