Hola, colegas:

Estoy traduciendo un certificado de una universidad venezolana en el que le confieren a un egresado el TÍTULO DE ESPECIALISTA EN DERECHO CIVIL Y MERCANTIL.

El título como tal fue emitido por la Dirección de Postgrado de una universidad XXXX

Mi pregunta es si en este caso, TÍTULO DE ESPECIALISTA, sería algo así como GRADUATE DEGREE IN XXX AND XXX

Gracias por cualquier recomendación

Saludos y muchas gracias

Explanation:
I don't know about Venezuela, but in Spain many universities run their own courses which do not lead to an officially recognised postgraduate degree but to the qualification of 'university specialist', which has no official validity outside the university.

As you can see here, "specialist" is listed under 'own curriculum' and separate from degrees:

More information here, again emphasising the non-official character of these qualifications, so I think it would be misleading to use the term 'graduate degree' in this case, which most people would associate with some kind of regulated qualification:
