Language pair:	Spanish > English
Subject:	Law / Certificates
Level of diffculty:	Difficult / demanding
Word or term in question:	Facultades(centros de enseñanza universitaria
Context:	Hi, there. Para las distintas Facultades suelo poner "School", como en Facultad de Ingeniería: School of Engineering, Facultad de Medicina: Medical School, etc. En este caso se trata de una explicación sobre el sistema de calificaciones (grading scale) vigente en todas las Facultades de la Universidad de la República. No me gusta "schools" para ese contexto y menos "Faculty": cuerpo docente. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance !!
Keywords:	Postgraduate certificate

My comment:

Hola, Carlos Pablo.
"Schools", sin más contexto, parece acertada."Schools" es la primera palabra que me viene a la mente.
También podrías usar "college" según el contexto (fijate cómo usan "college" en los enlaces que incluí).
¿Cuál sería la oración que tenés que traducir? Quizás con el texto se puede intentar usar otro término o ponerlo de modo que quede claro que "schools" no son escuelas.
¡Suerte!

Sorry my answer got cut off. Then the website wouldn't let me re-post. The only words used for "facultad" are "schools" (i.e. School of Education, School of Medicine) and "colleges" (i.e. College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences). Don't use "departments". This is to designate smaller subject area divisions within a school or college. The English Dept., for example, is within the College of Arts and Sciences at my alma mater.
