Spanish term

Dirección General de Educación Superior Universitaria

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Es una dependencia de la SEP en México y al parecer se encarga de validar certificados de escuelas privadas, no sé si podría ser como General Directorate of Undergraduate Education o cuál sería una mejor opción. El documento es un certificado de materias de maestría.

Muchas gracias.

Directorate General (or General Directorate) of Higher University Education

(This seems right on its face. However, it must be wrong, because I don't perceive the issue here.)

Better: Directorate General (or General Directorate) of University Education.
(We are all familiar with what "lower university education" is, but there is no evidence that the connotation that this agency snubs "lower university education" was the author's intent.)
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I think "higher university" is a tautology, and I'd leave one out. Maybe that's why the asker posted the question.

Thank you. I was not thinking, just trying to parrot the author.
agree Henry Hinds : I would agree that there is a redundancy, "higher" could be omitted.

agree eloisemac : I agree that the 'Higher' should be omitted. In English we might say 'Higher Education' as an umbrella term for different forms of post-secondary ed. We'd never say 'Higher University Education' when distinguishing university level education though.
