DIRECTOR DEPARTAMENTO ALUMNADO

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
¡Hola a todos! Estoy traduciendo un certificado analítico de la Facultada de Derecho de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (Argentina) que se va a entregar en una universidad de Inglaterra y tengo problemas para encontrar un equivalente a una inscripción que se ubica debajo de un sello y una firma que es DIRECTOR DPTO. ALUMNADO. Pensé en poner STUDENT BODY DIRECTOR, pero no me cuadra y no lo encontré por ningún lado. Aparte el STUDENT BODY o STUDENT COUNCIL es una actividad extracurricular de las escuelas primarias y secundarias no de las universidades.
Muchas gracias.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Vianely Gambin

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Puedes ver el site de la universidad... http://www.fder.unr.edu.ar/index.cgi?wid_seccion=3&wid_item=...
Ahí explica qué es el departamento de alumnado, su director para la facultad que muestra éste link, etc. Tomando esto en cuenta podrías utlitizar "PRINCIPAL" que es el término comunmente empleado para DIRECTOR en el ámbito educativo. Suerte!

Pero a qué se refiere? Al presidente de los alumnos o una división de la dirección de la universidad que trata los asuntos de los alumnos?

Student Department Director - or - Director of the Student Deparment


María Victoria:

I read your question and context and I think you are close to a good translation. You only have to change “Body” for “Department”. (By the way, I agree about all that you say about “Body” )

For my experience in US related with educational institutions and universities, here everybody talks about “Department”

About “Alumnado”, there are different terms used depending of the level of the studends, but an easy translation is: “Student”

And in universities and colleges, normally, the responsible of the department is named: “Director”. No complicated names! No complicated translations! (In some cases, they use the term “Dean”, but this term has also other meanings. Everybody knows the meaning of “Director”).

You are talking about a “Director” in a university and he/she is the responsible of the students. My suggestion:

1) “Student Department Director”
2) “Director of the Student Department”

When they receive your translation, everybody will understand what you are saying...


I hope this analysis helps you in your work

Thank you,

Domingo

Director Registry Services

A student body president is actually a student and has nothing to do with "departamento alumnado". A student would not be affixing his/her signature and seal to a legal document.
The President of the Student Government (Also known generically as Student Body President)
is the highest ranking officer of a student government or student union association on the high school, college, or university level. Respected as one of the highest honored roles to achieve during academic studies, ***serving as President can enable a student*** to gain strong interpersonal, leadership, social, economic, and management skills.
