The English phrase "senior in college" is translated into Spanish as estudiante de último año de universidad.
This phrase describes a student who is currently in their final year of undergraduate studies at a college or university.

Which one should you use?

While estudiante de último año de universidad is the full phrase for a college senior, you may also see Estudiante de último año used to mean a student in their final year or Estudiante de cuarto año to specifically mean a fourth-year student.

Did you know?

  • In some Spanish-speaking regions, students who have finished their coursework but are still writing their final thesis are called egresados, a term with no direct equivalent for 'senior'.
  • The word estudiante is built from the root estudiar, which traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)tewd-, meaning to push or exert effort.
  • Because degrees vary in length, using estudiante de cuarto año can be confusing in countries where the standard undergraduate degree is only three years long.
