Spanish term or phrase: Director Decano
¡Hola! Espero que puedan ayudarme. Estoy en duda en cuanto al título a usar.

Se trata de una firma al pie de un diploma universitario. Estoy traduciendo para el Reino Unido.

Nombre + apellido
Director Decano
Depto. de Ciencias Sociales

Pensé en "Principal Dean" pero me parece muy literal. Tengo mis dudas. Mirar este enlace, por favor:

Explanation:
I think they just mean "the Dean" and the "Director" component is just them hedging their bets, in case somebody reading it doesn't know what the Dean is.
