agree  philgoddard: Yes, but this needs a bit of reworking because your suggestion has three words ending in '-ation'. You could say 'degree', which is presumably what it is.
19 mins
  -> Wasn't sure about "degree" but that might be the way to go. I'd avoid "bachelor" because it doesn't seem to be a university degree.
agree  Horst Huber (X): And it catches the pleonasm of the forced German "term".

agree  Nicola Wood: rewording is definitely the way to go.
11 hrs
agree  oa_xxx (X): why not just certificate to avoid some of the -ations ;) or program/certificate in business administration

neutral  philgoddard: This sounds like one institution's translation, and "bachelor professional' doesn't sound very English.

neutral  oa_xxx (X): This is what the IHK (and co.) wants to use as a "Übersetzunghilfe" but it seems to have resulted in a hefty debate, I personally think its terrible and misleading! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_Professional
