Dear colleagues
I am having problems with the difference between
"Bacharelado em Química" e "LIcenciatura em Quimica", as it seems to translate into BSE in both cases.
The problem is that the client has two separate diplomas and they cannot say the same thing...
any ideas to circumvent that?

Thank you all for any help.

Qualified Chemistry Teacher


Explanation:
In Brazil, this is the translation. 'Licenciado' is someone who has taken a 'licenciatura' which in Brazil is a teacher training course (and not a theoretical course which is what it appears to be in Portugal).
Most licenciados need to take a regular course in a school subject (Chemistry, in this case) and a pedagogical complementation which (at USP in 1983) consisted of:
Estrutura e Funcionamento do Ensino de II Grau I and II (Organisation and Structure of the Secondary School System)
Didática I and II (Didactics I and II)
Prática de Ensino I and II (Teaching Practice I and II)
(At IME-USP where I studied, it was different, as pure maths and teaching curricula did not actually match. For example we had Set Theory while the pure mathematics nerds struggled with Calculus V)
