Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
This is on a certificate from an Algerian university. The sentence states that the person concerned was enrolled at the university: "pour préparer Le Diplôme d'Ingénieur d'Etat en Informatique".
Should this be translated as a degree or a diploma? On a linked certificate, I have translated the course of study for which he is enrolled, "1ere annee Ingénieur d'Etat", as "1st Year State Registered Engineer".

State Engineering Degree (Algeria)
FYI:
The Algerian engineering degree appears to be at a BSc level, not at the Master’s level as would be the case for a French engineering degree, if the Quebec chart is correct. (And all three engineers listed below have also gone on to do a Master’s degree either in Algeria or abroad after obtaining the “diplôme d’ingénieur d’état”. )
Tableaux comparatives etudes en Algérie et au Québec. (page 4 )
Algérie –diplôme d’ingénieur d’état.
Equivalent: Québec -baccalauréat specialisé en 3 ans.

In the second case, I would suggest: “First year of State Engineering degree program(me)”.

From what you've given, I would translate it as "degree" in that context. "Diploma" is usually only used for high school OR to refer to the actual certificate (i.e. the paper itself), while "degree" has more the sense of "the qualification earned by passing the required courses" to earn that piece of paper. It makes more sense to me to say he's working toward the degree, not just the diploma.

Oops, I now see that the subject line is supposed to reflect the English translation. Can't change it, arg. It should say "degree."

Example sentence:
He received his diploma at the graduation ceremony.
He now has a degree in engineering.
