French term or phrase: Bachelier assistant en psychologie
This is a 3 year course of study offered at a Haute École in Belgium. The profession of "assistant en psychologie", known in France, Belgium and the Netherlands (and possibly elsewhere) is difficult to define but has a broader reach than simply an "assistant in psychology". It is neither a social worker nor an OT per se nor a psychologist's assistant. This particular student has gone on to work as an assistant en psychologie in the sub-specialty of psychomotricity.
A description of what this profession involves is set out in general terms on the Haute École webpage: http://www.vinci.be/fr-be/mariehaps/Pages/Bachelier-Assistan...
I am unable to find any equivalent profession in the English speaking world. My question is how to translate the title of the qualification in the student's Relevé de Notes. To translate as "Bachelor Assistant in Psychology" would be misleading. To leave in French with a Translator's note then gives rise to the question of what to put in the Translator's note that does not go beyond the reach of the translator's role.
Ideas please??

Bachelor - social psychology


Explanation:
An "assistant en psychologie" sounds to me like a social psychologist, although some assistants en psychologie seem to work as some kind of psychotherapist, perhaps facilitating group psychotherapy or group supervision.

neutral  AllegroTrans: "Bachelor"suggests a first degree and I doubt whether it's such a high level

neutral  SafeTex: Social psychologists study how social influence, social perception, and social interaction influence individual and group behaviour. I don't think this fits the job description we were given at all
