University Master's Degree in "International Peace Operators"


Explanation:
The part in inverted commas has necessarily been translated fairly literally. Some people omit the apostrophe on masters

Operators is just as stupid in the orginal Italian as it is here, but it IS in inverted commas, so obviously there is a reason which we don't know and it is un "Master" un titolo di studio, a degree and not a course. University is of course probably redundant, but it does get 33,000 hits plus on the Iternet, so it is very funny that all those universties are being so terribly "literal". Paul the guy wants the most accurate translation not a poem. Gosh life is hard at the top!

agree  luskie: but I think Pauley is right about 'operations', I had actually read 'operations' when I gave my agree
2 mins
disagree  Paul O'Brien: no need for "university" (too literal) and the preposition "in" jars with "international peace operators". would mean they study the operators, not how to become one. when you tell me your dad had an MA in history i know it's from a uni.

Master's degree in International Peace Negotiations


Explanation:
"Operators" sounds somewhat awkward although it is true that it gets google hits...

I would rather use negotiations, though.

Your call.
