You're right (I've translated Tipo as Type). According to the Schema, that
field is mandatory. The choices are: TRO, OBL, OPT, OPE or LIB
Do you know what those mean?

Since one of the choices is "DOC" (Doctoral Degree) I guess this is
the degree the student will be granted at the end. In that case, it should
definitely be POS (other choices are GRA, GOS or DOC).

I've translated "Nivel" as "Level" in the English version. Should we also
translate the options? that can be done by the XSL stylesheet.

That's an optional element. Instead of "None", I would delete it completely
when there are no specific previous requirements for the course.
