philgoddard Aug 2, 2022:
I don't agree that a título de técnico is completely different to a título universitario. Spanish often confers a "title" rather than a degree, but they're the same thing - this is a degree in advertising. We've had many similar questions.

Confers an Associate's Degree in Advertising

Since it's clearly at the undergraduate level, an associate's degree may be the best option.

Across different systems, we can't expect perfect correspondence (in terms of length of program and requirements), so an undergraduate degree that usually takes two years may be the 'closest natural equivalent' here.

At least at post-secondary institutions in the U.S., the use of 'diploma' to refer to a three-year program would be unusual. Some translators might be tempted to render 'técnico profesional' as 'advanced certificate' but certificates ('advanced' or otherwise) often require just 12-15 credits, which could normally be earned in a single semester.

I hope this helps :-)

Another option might simply be 'degree' in xxx, without any further specification. In fact, this same approach is often taken when translating 'licenciatura' -- degree rather than x or y and the accompanying (endless) debate about whether it's a licentiate or a bachelor's.

As I state sbove, we can't expect perfect correspondence. Two years, three years, this may be the closest natural equivalent.

probablemente será un diplomado

En España hay diferencia entre diplomatura que suelen ser tres años y lo que antes se llamaban licenciaturas y ahora llaman grados (4,5 o más años),

en la wiki explican qué son estos títulos en Hispanoamérica
Diplomado (curso)

Graduados de un diplomado mostrando sus diplomas.
Un diplomado o diplomatura (en griego, δίπλωµα. díplōma) en Hispanoamérica es un curso de corta o mediana duración (80 a 120 horas), generalmente dictado por una universidad o institución de educación superior, que tiene el propósito de enseñar, complementar o actualizar algún conocimiento o habilidad específica.1​2​ Se diferencia de una especialización, en que los diplomados no conducen a la obtención de ningún título ni grado académico.3​

Los diplomados pueden ser dictados de forma presencial o a distancia (virtuales), con ayuda de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.4​ Aunque suelen estar dirigidos a los egresados universitarios, no siempre se les exige el poseer un grado académico para poder cursarlos.1​

Esta entrada se refiere a España

Diplomatura o diplomatura universitaria es una antigua titulación de educación superior en España que se obtenía tras realizar un programa de pregrado de tres años de duración. Se trataba de un grado académico corto (de un solo ciclo) especializado, a diferencia de la licenciatura, titulación de dos ciclos, donde en el primer ciclo (equivalente a una diplomatura) generalmente se impartían cursos más generalistas y en el segundo ciclo se accedía a la especialización.

La diplomatura tiende a desaparecer en la Unión Europea desde la creación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.

agree Marcelo González : Yes, 'degree' without any further specification may be a good option -- one I had already added, in fact, in a note to my suggestion of associate's degree (one commonly earned at community colleges throughout the U.S.). Regards
