1. Licentiate

   'Licentiate' is the title of a person who holds an academic degree known as a licence or a licentiate. The term derives from Latin licentia, freedom, which is applied in the phrases licentia docendi meaning permission to teach and licentia ad practicandum signifying someone who holds a certificate of competence to practise a profession. Many countries have degrees with this title, but they may represent different educational levels. In some universities it is a degree between that of bachelor and master or doctor; in some countries it is comparable to a PhD degree.
