How to explain Spanish qualification on CV?

rosie9

Hi,

I have a "Licenciatura" from Spain in Business Management and Administration.

This is something like a degree here. It's a 5 year course.

What's the best way for me to put this on my CV so that Irish companies will understand it?

I've read something here on Wikipedia that says:
"Many Spanish licenciados, when translating their CVs into English, use the formula BA+MA (or BSc+MSc) to indicate that a Licenciatura is equivalent to a Master's degree.

Is this okay to put something like BBA+MBA, even though I don't have a masters here in Ireland (or a separate honours degree and masters from Spain)?

Very confused

Thanks!

If its only a degree equal to a level 8 just mention its a degree but if your qualification is equal to both a degree and a masters (level 9) i'd explain the way that they have in wikipedia!

I would refer to the European Qualifications Framework and see what they say for Spain. http://ec.europa.eu/education/lifelong-learning-policy/doc44_en.htm
