"pasante" means...

Te lo escribo en español, sabrás disculpar.
En México, un pasante es alguien que ha terminado los cursos formales para una carrera dada, y que está redactando su tesis para presentarla en su examen profesional, o de titulación.
Doctorado, ojo en México, es después de la licenciatura (en promedio, 4 años de universidad) y después de la maestría (otros 2 o 3 años).
No te pongo ninguna traducción, pues simplemente no la sé.
Mi intervención es para aclarar el significado.
Suerte.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rantes : si termino la carrera y esta haciendo el doctorado, en ingles se dice Phd. Cuando uno termina el bachelor que son 4 años, luego hace la maestria (master)y luego el doctorado (Phd), no entiendo tu aclaracion ya que es lo mismo que puse yo

Gracias por la aclaración. Dices que "está haciendo el doctorado", ojo, hay una sutileza: ya cursó el doctorado, y está haciendo la tesis respectiva. Todo parece indicar que es A.B.D.

Ph.D. or doctoral candidate

pasante de doctorado en Antropología Social.

Ph.D. candidate in Social Anthropology

A "candidate" is understood to have passed all the courses and merely needs to complete the thesis or dissertation to get the degree.
Reference:

Exp.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Muriel Vasconcellos : A "candidate" is anyone who has been accepted for a doctoral program; ABD is the term used when the coursework has been completed.

From what I can find, you're right and I was wrong!
neutral Nicholas Pizzigati : "Doctoral candidate" is commonly used as a synonym for "ABD," at least in the U.S. However, the clearest and most precise translation of the term may be "doctoral candidate (ABD)" or "ABD doctoral candidate."

I think that was the cause of my confusion. But in checking it out, I found that a "candidate" can often be a person who is just beginning studies.
