Grant

Dear friends,

I have this doubt about if is it correct to say: "one year of postgraduate studies in Spain GRANTED BY the Complutense University" ?
Yes, it is for the painful cv improving...👁 Mad :mad:


Thank you and best wishes,

Natalia
I don't think I would use "Granted" here. I need more context to suggest a phrase though.

Thank you dear. I was trying to explain in the cv that I studied one year somewhere with a grant of the university, they paid me some studies. Thanks again
I would suggest "... supported by a grant from the Complutense University."

If I may make a small comment about your last post, "Thank you dear," is not an appropriate form to use in this context. It is the sort of thanks you would say to a small child.
sorry, not the intention is my way of speaking, you are right thanks for telling

My spouse and I must be well into our second childhood.👁 Big Grin :D

We often say "Thank you, dear" to one another.
Brioche is right of course. Spouses frequently use terms of endearment with one another that would not be at all appropriate in other contexts.
OK, my darlings, back to grant.
A certificate or degree may be granted, but not the study itself. This means something completely different from panjandrum's suggestion in post #4.

You could write
"Postgraduate certificate in Rocket Science granted by Complutense University" if you did, in fact, receive that certificate. This means "given" and has nothing to do with "a grant" in terms of monetary support for your education.
I would suggest:
one year of postgraduate studies in Spain FUNDED BY the Complutense University

The word "Dear" as Pan said is never used between strangers unless you want to be sarcastic or condescending (which I'm sure isn't the case!). Good luck with your CV.

Of course I didn't want to be sarcastic or condescendent, it's true it's not the right context (for you) but it was in a nice and thankful way (cariñosamente).
Thank you for the explanations.
Best regards,
Natalia
