Spanish term or phrase: Profundización Curricular
Dear all,

I am translating a university certificate and I would very much appreciate your help.

The name of the Degree is "Grado en Educación Infantil con mención en Profundización Curricular" and it's from a Spanish University. I was considering using "Curricular Specialization" but I am not 100% sure about it.

Thanks a lot!

Asker: Thank you both for your comments. I agree with Marcelo, "Curriculum Design" does sound much more natural in English. However, "Diseño curricular" is also a way more common subject/specialization in Spain, so that's what made me doubt.

Curricular Expansion/Extension


Explanation:
As the root meaning of "profundización/profundizar" is to go further/deeper, delving into a subject, this might work.
Another option could be "curricular extension":
"As well as curricular extension, the wider provision of the school will include curricular enrichment (extra-curricular activities)..."

Example sentence(s):
  • Students and professors serve as motors of curricular expansion...
  • ...gradual curricular expansion or diversification rather than radical overhaul of the core structure

curriculum development


Explanation:
A degree in child and early years education could involve an amount of curriculum development, as this could be subject to change depending on the age groups and cultures of the children attending schools. Expanding teaching resources might also be part of curriculum development as these could help the work involved in education provision and delivery.

Una licenciatura en la enseñanza de pre-escolares y la enseñanza primaria puede incluir partes del desarrollo del currículo. Esto puede cambiarse según las edades y culturas de los alumnos. La expansión de recursos adoptados para la eseñanza puede ser parte del desarrollo del currículo puesto que estos pueden ayudar entre el trabajo implicado en la provisión de enseñanza y la preparación de clases y cursos. De hecho, en un informe del Consejo Escolar de Canarias a la planificación del curso, la profundización curricular es considerada para religión junto con las áreas troncales de lengua, matemáticas y ciencias sociales,

Asker: Thanks, Lisa. My main problem here is that in Spain it's quite common to use "diseño/desarrollo curricular", but this is the first time I've seen "profundización curricular". It might have been used as a synonym and I'm just complicating things here!
