Education / Pedagogy / college transcript
Portuguese term or phrase: unidade
Hi everyone,

This is a college transcript from Brazil. At the top of the page, it says "Unidade: Instituto de Matematica e Estatistica", then "Curso..." "Aluno" etc.
I can't make "unit" fit here, obviously, but I can't think what else to say.. would it be "facility"?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Patsy
