Law/Patents - Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / Graduada en Maestra de Educación Primaria
Spanish term or phrase: Graduada en Maestra de Educación Primaria
This is a Spanish Diploma.
The complete sentence is
" .. ha superado los estudios universitarios oficiales conducentes al titulo universitario oficial de Graduada en Maestra de Educación Primaria"

Note: I don't think this is a Master's Degree, just a course of Primary Education teacher. I just don't know how to call it in English.

English translation:Bachelor's degree in Primary Education
Explanation:
Avoids using BA BS BEd or any other such specific flavour of degree, which in my view would be misleading and innacurate

Note:
My only issue with Barbara's suggestion is that degree titles such as BA (Bachelor of Arts) are very specific in general to EN-speaking countries and it is, I repeat, dangerous, to equate degrees and diplomas awarded in other countries to these. Yes, this is an undergraduate degree but you cannot say it is anything other than a degree in primary education.

For what it's worth, this link contains a table giving eqivalence between foreign degrees and diplomas and UK degrees: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-degree-e...

But I don't think any translator should attempt to repliacte this.

The above link proves, contrary to what AllegroTrans might try to imply, that the degree, as I have translated, is offered through the University of Burgos.

neutral  AllegroTrans: making equivlence with US is dangerous: every country has differing levels and you need a neutral term here // well it would be worse than "dangerous" if the translator ended up being sued; the translator should make no attempt to suggest equivalence
31 mins
  -> I am a US native, and that is how we would translate it here. Your use of the term "dangerous" seems quite melodramatic./This translator will never be sued if she uses my suggested translation, what the university itself calls the degree online.
agree  Cristina Gonzalez: De acuerdo, ya que con el acuerdo de Bolonia se equipara "pregrado" a "undergraduate" y "postgrado" a "graduate" https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proceso_de_Bolonia
