Explanation:
surely if you're doing a post-grad course that already means you're specialising. So, couldn't you take out the specialising bit and just put 'This is to certify that X has completed the post-graduate course in computer science'?

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Maria Eugenia Farre: Yes. And note also that "a nível de" is a grammatical monstrosity in Portuguese.

  -> Agree with you about 'a nivel de'. The French have a similar complaint about 'au niveau de'.
agree  Ana Rita Santiago: But what the sentence implies that it is a specialization degree, not a Master's degree, which is higher, although both are postgraduate.
