Hello Marbe,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

I took the liberty of following HCA's advice and this is what the machine gave me:

1"Master of Science in Management"? (No Spanish translation only repeated the same words in English) Microsoft translator

2."Master of Science in Management"? (the same as for number 1 above) SDL translator

3."Licenciatura(Licenciado) en ciencias en dirección" (Questionable answer the first word could be correct) Prompt translator

However, I was not at all impressed by any of the responses and am not totally convinced that the third one is correct to mean 'Masters', because it is not specific enough as it just refers to the first degree you take in Spain! ;(

This is what I have found in my Oxford Spanish Dictionary:

(poseedor de) una maestría en Ciencias = Master of Science

(una maestría en Humanidades = Master of Arts)

I think that altogether it could be something along the lines of:

una maestría en Ciencias de (o en?) administración = Master of Science in management,

Please wait for further confirmation from a native /advanced speaker as I am only an intermediate (High intermediate) level student.

By the way, I am sure you can see I have little confidence in the effectiveness of translators to offer accurate answers and as I have said before in a previous post, when you are first learning you cannot usually tell whether they are giving you a good translation or not and can become too dependent on them, but with experience you realize how unreliable they can be.

From a Spanish student's perspective, I would strongly recommend people invest in (buy) a good, comprehensive, ilingual dictionary for whatever language/s they are learning: both Oxford and Collins publish a large, extensive bilingual dictionary that are an invaluable aid and are generally much more reliable than online translators, if used correctly! (ie: checking words for the context in which you intend to use them before using them!) (And no , I don't receive any commission for saying this lol)

I hope this helps smile

Welcome to the Forum!

Please use the translator for questions like this. Just open SpanishDict's home page!

Also, please fill out your profile info, particularly the part that pertains to language. And yes, the site is having some technical glitches, so some things (like the comment box) may not work. I've even had some trouble with voting!

Buena Suerte
