Spanish term

cursar estudios de postgrado o maestrías

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Courses
Respecto de la OPORTUNIDADES, en Chile y en la región (Latinoamérica y el Caribe) existe un numero significativo de académicos y profesionales (diseñadores, arquitectos, ingenieros, ejecutivos y otros profesionales) interesados en cursar estudios de postgrado o maestrías , pero por sus compromisos personales o laborales no pueden ausentarse de sus trabajos o países por período muy prolongados.

ES URGENTE Y NO LE ENCUENTRO UNA TRADUCCIÓN LÓGICA: SÓLO SE ME OCURRE "TAKING POSTGRADUATE MASTER'S COURSES". SÉ QUE MI CLIENTE DIFERENCIA ENTRE "CURSOS DE POSTGRADO" Y "MAESTRÍAS".

¡GRACIAS!

A thank-you note to GoodWords for her valuable input regarding Graduate > postgrado/posgrado
Postgraduate > Postdoctorado
Non-ProZ.com Aug 25, 2005:
�Me desayuno, GoodWords! Te agradezco mucho este aporte. Busqu� en mi Simon & Schuster y en Marina Orellana, que tiene todas las palabras poco usadas, y no encuentro "posgrado". Tomo nota de tu sugerencia. �Gracias otra vez!
Margaret Schroeder Aug 25, 2005:
Lo comento aqu� porque es pertinente a m�s de una respuesta. "Postgraduate" y "pos[t]grado" son falsos amigos. Postgraduate (EN) = posdoctorado (ES); en cambio, posgrado (ES) = graduate (EN). P.ej. estudios de posgrado = graduate studies.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 24, 2005:
Creo que Coral me ha dado la respuesta, porque el programa de que hablan consiste en una serie de cursos de postgrado con la posibilidad de obtener el Master's al final.
Dejo la pregunta abierta para que lleguen todas las sugerencias posibles. Me interesa mucho este tema.
�GRACIAS!

take postgraduate courses and master's degree

I'd use the verb "take". It's the standard verb used in this collocation. In Spain "Maestría" usually refers to a teaching diploma, but it's pretty clear that in this case it's referring to a master's.

take/enroll in graduate studies or a master's program

"Estudios de postgrado" pueden ser cursos de doctorado, de maestría o de ampliación de conocimientos... creo que uno puede tomar un curso o varios "sin comprometerse" a mas, mientras que "la maestría" es un lote completo de cursos y otros requisitos que se deben de cumplir para poder conseguir un título.

Tambien podrías decir "take graduate or master's courses" o "enroll in graduate studies or a master's program"

En EEUU a los cursos de posgrado se les llama comunmente "graduate courses"... y si, definitivamente por lo que explicas, parece que eso es!

interested in pursuing Postgraduate and Master Studies

A Master student is defined as a person holding an academic degree higher than a bachelor's but lower than a doctor's b often capitalized.

I hope that helps!

neutral Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : postgraduate is not capitalized and I already gave this answer...FYI...:)

Thank you for your opinion. The capitalization was meant to emphasize the chosen term. We all live in different time zones, as such other colleague's answers don't always appear when the forum window opens up until after the individual reply is given.
