Licenciado em Química.

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy course titles
Dear colleagues
I am having problems with the difference between
"Bacharelado em Química" e "LIcenciatura em Quimica", as it seems to translate into BSE in both cases.
The problem is that the client has two separate diplomas and they cannot say the same thing...
any ideas to circumvent that?

Thank you all for any help.

Paul, you are right! I was thinking about night courses only. As the record transcript seems to show...
thank you for your explanation.
Paul Dixon Nov 28, 2019:
Depends 1. Not always. My IME course was 8 semesters (I took 10 because I failed Algebra II and III, and not because I had to) and pure maths was 6. Statistics was also 8 and applied maths was 9 (I think). The difference was that the licenciatura was full-time, as we had maths subjects in the morning and teaching subjects in the afternoon. The bacharelado was morning only. Another difference is that licenciatura always incliudes teaching subjects as my answer below shows.
2. This is for Brazil. If the person in Portugal it's a different story altogether.
Bett (asker) Nov 27, 2019:
THank you. Excellent explanation! In Brazil , Bacharelado is 8 semesters, Licenciatura is 10 semesters! this was driving me mad!
Mark Robertson Nov 27, 2019:
So far as Portugal is concerned and post-Bologna there is no difference between a Bacharelato and a Licenciatura. Pre-Bologna a bacharelato was a 3-year degree and a licenciatura was a 5-year degree. Post-Bologna, the standard first degree is a 3-year degree, which, in Portugal, is bizarrely called a licenciatura, but is equivalent to a bachelor's degree.

A bachelor's degree is a course of academic study leading to a qualification such as a bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of science (BSc), or bachelor of medicine (MB). ... Some bachelor's degrees, like medical courses can take longer. You can also study for a bachelor's degree part-time, or through flexible learning.

perhaps for the former you can use

Bachelor Degree


Bachelor degrees
Otherwise known as a 'first' or 'ordinary' degree, a bachelor degree will give you a thorough understanding of the course you are studying, as well as provide you with key skills to take into your professional career.

A bachelor degree is a course of study that takes between three to four years to complete, depending on whether or not you choose to do a course which includes a year abroad or a year in industry.

Qualified Chemistry Teacher

In Brazil, this is the translation. 'Licenciado' is someone who has taken a 'licenciatura' which in Brazil is a teacher training course (and not a theoretical course which is what it appears to be in Portugal).
Most licenciados need to take a regular course in a school subject (Chemistry, in this case) and a pedagogical complementation which (at USP in 1983) consisted of:
Estrutura e Funcionamento do Ensino de II Grau I and II (Organisation and Structure of the Secondary School System)
Didática I and II (Didactics I and II)
Prática de Ensino I and II (Teaching Practice I and II)
(At IME-USP where I studied, it was different, as pure maths and teaching curricula did not actually match. For example we had Set Theory while the pure mathematics nerds struggled with Calculus V)
