Sophie, pour un associate's degree in biomedical equipment technology, ce n'est pas un DEUG même s'il existait à l'époque. Le DEUG était seulement pour le " littéraire ». Pour « les techniques » c'est le DUT. J'ai été prof en DEUG pendant très longtemps. (fac).

Note from asker:
Merci pour ces commentaires intéressants et utiles. Je pense que la meilleure solution est donc DUT.
Peer comment(s):
agree Claire Gerard : Personnellement je garderais le terme anglais et préciserais entre parenthèses équivalent à un BTS (ou DEUG, DUT, etc)

disagree chantal Baranski : Un BTS est préparé en Lycée, donc ici ce n'est pas un BTS mais un DUT, ( Diplome universitaire de technologie) A la fac où j'étais prof, il y avait le DEUD " littéraire" et le DEUG technologique appelé DUT ( diplome universitaire de technologie)

Associate degree (diplôme d'associé)

neutral Ninon Dion : I think this is a very strange and inaccurate translation from Wikipedia.

Well thank you for pointing this out, I thought it was maybe how Canadians called it. I still think that the best way is to keep Associate degree and then specify the French equivalent (which might be DUT or BTS as it is about biomedical equipment tech.)
agree chantal Baranski : I would say DUT because it is about biomedical equipment and the associate degree is prepared in College. A BTS is NOT prepared in a French University BUT in a High School

It may have existed when the document was written, hence it could still be a valid translation :)
