Spanish term or phrase: licenciada en diseño gráfico
Estoy traduciendo un analítico de una licenciada en diseño gráfico de una universidad privada de Argentina. La traducción es para Australia.

Cómo podría traducir el título?

Certifico que la señorita XXX ha cursado y aprobado la totalidad de las asignaturas correspondientes a Licenciatura en diseño gráfico hasta recibirse de LICENCIADA EN DISEÑO GRÁFICO.

Quedará claro si dejo tal cual en español y después aclaro en inglés:

... and has qualified as a"LICENCIADA EN DISEÑO GRÁFICO" (GRAPHIC DESIGNER)
rominadiaz
Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design - said degree
Explanation:
ha cursado y aprobado la totalidad de las asignaturas correspondientes a Licenciatura en diseño gráfico hasta recibirse de LICENCIADA EN DISEÑO GRÁFICO = has completed and passed all the courses for the Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design until graduating with said degree.

Exlpicación: En español la expresión se refiere a la PERSONA (LICENCIADA EN DISEÑO GRÁFICO) pero no es así en inglés, pues se refiere al TÍTULO (Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design).

En este caso concreto pongo "said degree" a fin de evitar la repetición.

neutral  Steve Grammer: I question the use of LICENSE in this case. A doctor, lawyer, etc. would hold a licence to practice in their field. A graphic designer wouldn't hold a universally recognized license (if they do indeed exist).

Thank you, Henry!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Muses Inc: Licenciado/a comes from the old European universities; becoming a doctorandus/licencié meant you were licenced to continue studies for a doctor's degree. A doctor's degree in graphic design may not exist, simply "has a degree in graphic design" would do.

  -> Gracias, Muses. But simply "has a degree in..." won't do; the level of the degree needs to be expressed.
