"Awarded" and "admitted" both are clearly terms used on degree certificates, varying by university and country. End of story. Asker chooses the term she prefers.

In short, no. ESOL CAE is a certificate, not a degree. The University of Cambridge acts as an examining body for many qualifications other than degrees, notably GCSE and A levels for secondary schools, and a range of ESOL qualifications.

I don't mean to doubt your intel, just explain if you can what you mean by "not full degrees" because I'm not sure wether you are just making a distinction between Esol exams and the rest of Uk University exams or if you think people can earn partial degrees or something... You've lost me because to me a Cambridge CAE awarded with grade B is not half or part of anything else but a full degree in its own right.... In any case, the fact your degree and mine bear both wordings suggests both are acceptable for a "licence de musique" which is sure not to come from Cambridge University....

Dieezah, I should double check. Cambridge degrees (yes, I have one) eg BA, MA, PhD all say "admitted".
There are various accredited diplomas which may possibly say "awarded" but not full degrees.

I have mine from the University of Cambridge right in front of me now and it says " awarded".... Sorry Mike !

So, how would you translate a UK degree certificate using the standard word "admitted" into French? After all "reçu au diplôme" has the same old-fashioned derivation from mediaeval Guilds.

The text is not from Cambridge, Oxford, London, Durham, York, Wales or Kent so what is wrong with standard, natural Engllsh?

Straw poll: how many people have a UK degree certificate using the words "awarded"? and "admitted"?
So far, it seems to me that Cambridge, Oxford, London, Durham, York, Wales and Kent all say "admitted".
