Como dizer "reitor" em inglês

Para dizer reitor em inglês, utilize:

Rector

Ex.: He's the rector. [Ele é o reitor.]

Bons estudos.

Adicionando, minha impressão de "rector" é que na A. do Norte o equivalente seria mesmo "university president," se é que reitor no Brasil indica o posto mais alto da administração de escola superior. As universidades escoçesas, se não me engano, têm "rectors," e uma universidade canadense, mas neste não é o posto principal. Uma ou outra universidade cdense tem um "principal."

Certas denominações protestantes utilizam "rector" para posições em suas hierarquias.

Cheers!

Provavelmente não na A. do N. DEan seria um diretor de "faculty". ("Faculty" não é faculdade no sentido brasileiro.)
Faculty seria, por exemplo, The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Maryland, uma escola dentro da universidade.

Então vc teria vários deans numa universidade: The DEan of Arts, the Dean of Engineering, etc.

Hello Pondé,

Two comments:

1. I do understand how universities are structured and that most of the large Brazilian ones would have various faculties. My mention of "faculty" was prompted solely by the query whether "dean" was the best term for the head of a university. Now, Brazilian students typically say "Eu estou na faculdade," unlike American students who say "I go to college," and Canadian students who say "I go to university." Evidently they all know they are in some institution of higher education. That was the context I needed to discuss the term "dean."

2. If you google "university chancellor," you will see that -- if it exists --it is by and large a ceremonial (or figurehead) position, and that the common title is president. Again, we´re interested here in the typical usage.

Regards

Hi!
As you said "2 comments":

1th When a North Americans refers to College, or as so Canadians to University, they are not refering to the same tipe of Institution, you may be used to as it is in Brazil, a "Faculdade" are focused on a particular area of ​​education, and do not offer postgraduation degrees, as well, the faculty only need to have latu-sensu postgraduate degrees; and Universidades are focus on three academic axes: teaching, research and extension. All Universidades are divided into Faculades, and research programs are coordinated by the Universidade, as per MEC Faculdades do not have autonomy to create courses. And College, DO NOT GRADUATE NO ONE they offer undergraduation courses only.

2nd If YOU google chancellor "The "relationship" between the President and the Chancellor are very much the same as in the UK Queen/Prime-Minister. The Chancellor is the head of the executive and the government. The President is the Head of State, but unlike other heads of State, he is not part of any of the classical powers."
"University president is the title of the highest-ranking officer within the academic administration of a university, within university systems that prefer that appellation over other variations such as chancellor or rector. The relative seniority varies between institutions"

(And if my well remember they still very popular in a specific religious Type of institution)
