Re. Katalin's comment: If we are referring to a graduate from said school ("bölcsész (szakember)"), then the translation would be "scholar, arts graduate." Here is a handy glossary, specifically for terminology used at ELTE:
http://www.c3.hu/~ecsomay/nora/wordl.htm
"Hungarian-English Glossary Of University Terminology
A szójegyzék célja, hogy az ELTE (és különösen a Bölcsészkar) polgárai és hivatalai angol nyelvû levelezésükben, kiadványaikban, fordításaikban lehetõleg egyöntetû és egyértelmû szakszókinccsel adják vissza a tanulmányi rend magyar kifejezéseit."
