I don't see how Ricardo can provide any more context! We have all we need.
Henry Hinds Nov 12, 2014:
Tu propuesta ...me parece bien sin más CONTEXTO.
philgoddard Nov 12, 2014:
Yes, or higher diploma. It sounds like a diploma rather than a degree, since it's not a subject you'd study for three or four years.

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : The fact that it's on their website doesn't mean it's right. Superior has connotations of quality in English.

not necessarily, that's a very narrow reading of what superior can mean. If Spain's official accreditation body is calling it that, it's at least a reasonable offering.
