GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase: título de sociólogo y grado de licenciado en sociología
English translation: título [professional qualification] as a sociologist and licenciatura [licentiate degree] in sociology

Many are often tempted to translated "título de grado de licenciado" as a Bachelor's degree. This discussion has been exhausted ad naseum in many postings (I can recall Charles Davis addressing this very issue countless times), so please don´t be tempted.
Here is one such discussion: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_genera...
Licenciada can simply be translated as "graduate". The correct term is "licenciate", which could be used, though some translators prefer not to on the grounds that it is unfamiliar in English. "Bachelor in Nutrition" would not really be accurate, since a licenciatura, albeit a first degree, is a more advanced qualification than a bachelor's degree. Just "graduate" would do.

Thank you.
Peer comment(s):
agree Marcelo González : Setting aside the licentiate-or-not-discussion, this appears to involve an application for the degree, not for admission; that is, after meeting the requirements, one has to apply for graduation, i.e., to receive his or her degree.

Thank you Marcelo.
agree Charles Davis : Hi Taña. I think you need to add "diploma" after "degree"; "título" here is not the degree itself but the piece of paper. See http://www.titulos.unlu.edu.ar/?q=node/4 (you can do it online) and note "retirar su diploma" at the end. Un abrazo :-)

Spanish tends to be formulated in what would seem redundant in English but in Spanish it's not ... anyway, that's the way I would phrase it

you don't "begin to apply" in English ... as in the Nike ad, you "just do it"
