Gracias, Sue.
agree Jan Castillo : Always a challenging question, that of how to explain "Licenciado". I think Henry's answer is the one which would lead to less confusion.

BSc- Bachelor of Science; BEd- Bachelor of Education

USA:B- bachelor's degree (with mention of the field);
BA- bachelor of arts;
ES- education specialist;

Although Bachelor's degrees are normally of three year's duration, some degree programmes last four years, particularly language programmes and sandwich courses.

However these are basic degrees not really equivalent to the Spanish ones. As Licenciado/a means a five year duration the exact British equivalents are:
MPhil- Master of Philosophy (Economics and Social Sciences) -5 years
MSc- Master of Science; (Education) 5 years
