Bachelor's/Master in Business Information Systems
Be careful about translating Diplom as Masters. It\'s only a masters if the person studied for 5 years or more. If the person studied for less than 5 years it\'s a plain Bachelors.
At my university, Middlesex, they offer courses in Business Information Systems.

: A masters does not depend on a specific amount of years. That varies from college to college, and country.

Diplomwirtschaftsinformatiker
First, it is not just a diploma. Second, it is actually considered to be at least as worthy (important, etc.) as a masters degree. Third, they now offer actual Masters and Bachelors degrees in Germany. Therefore, do not translate the title. Instead, explain the degree in brackets. Degrees do not depend on the years you spend in college. Instead, they depend on the courses you took, the college you attended, and the country you went to to attend college. Every country and every state has different requirements. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to find a foreign equivalent to one's degree.
