maestro en Investigación por la UNAM

[JeSuisSnob]

Hola, compañeros del foro:

He buscado en varios hilos, pero no he encontrado una pregunta de este tipo.

Traduzco del español al inglés la biografía de varios autores que son académicos y escriben textos de epidemiología clínica. Tengo problemas para traducir una oración del tipo: "maestro en Investigación por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México", pues he notado que en inglés no suelen referirse a alguien como "maestro" (llamándolo por su grado académico), sino que dicen "he has/holds a Master's degree in Research" o algo del estilo. Mis dudas son:

¿En inglés siempre debo recurrir a esa fórmula de "he has/holds a Master's degree in...", es decir, no tienen una manera idiomática del tipo "he is a Master in Research..." para referirse a alguien que es maestro en X materia?
¿Y cómo digo que su maestría la hizo en "la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México" —o en cualquier otra universidad—?

Ya para finalizar, éste es mi intento: "He has a Master's degree in/of Research from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico"

De antemano, muchas gracias.

In case of a specific degree: He holds a Master of (specific field) from the UNAM.
Please wait for more suggestions.

Do you mean the Master of Research degree? This is a Masters Degree that focuses on research rather than taught elements....so a MRes rather than a MSc or MA.

He has been awarded a Master of Research degree from UNAM (National University of Mexico).

No, Lis. I meant "Master of Clinical Research" (the author wrote "maestría en investigación," but I just asked him and he said "maestría en investigación clínica," which is different from the "Master of research degree" you mentioned).

I'm going to keep with something like this: "he holds/has been awarded a Master of Clinical Research from UNAM...".

Thank you, Lis and SolAguila!

EDIT:

I have one more question. Should I keep the article in "from the UNAM"?

If you abbreviate it, then no. If you write out the entire name, then yes.

That is, "from UNAM" but "from the National University of Mexico"

I would say no. For example, I would say "He went to U of M" (the University of Michigan), not "the U of M."

OK, got it.

Thank you very much, jedi and jtLeebs.

One more thing, UNAM by its abbreviation is known world wide.

Well, one can always write as Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and as per wikipedia it is National Autonomous University of Mexico in English.
