Also I want to know what a better designation in English would be for a "certified business economist". The person I am helping out here says he is getting this kind of degree at the "Berufsakademie"

[university of cooperative education]
I would retain the German Berufsakademie and add the translation in brackets. Berufsakademie [university of cooperative education]
In the state of Baden-Württemberg (situated in South West Germany), higher education institutions offer a large variety of study programs to secondary school graduates: there are 9 Universities, 37 Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen) and 8 Universities of Cooperative Education (Berufsakademien): The Berufsakademie Stuttgart currently offers 5.500 study places and is one of the largest educational institutions in Stuttgart.
The Berufsakademie focuses on an outstanding concept that combines high-level academic work with practical training on the job. It offers three fields of study as there are Business Administration, Engineering and Social Work.
The Berufsakademie Stuttgart was founded in 1974 and is an institution in which companies and institutions and the state of Baden-Württemberg cooperate in a system of higher education. Being based on a Baden-Württemberg State regulation, the Berufsakademie is a very successful and trend-setting innovation in Baden-Württemberg.
http://www.ba-stuttgart.de/466.0.html
Berufsakademien in Baden-Württemberg can call themselves universities by German legislation (see earlier entry). Foreign authorities will have to decide whether they are universities by foreign standards. But who lays down their English name, what language advice did they have and what are the consequences?
The Berufsakademiegesetz does indeed say that Berufsakademien are the equivalent of Fachhochschulen:
(2) Berufsakademien gehören dem tertiären Bildungsbereich an; sie bieten eine Alternative zum Studium an Fachhochschulen und Universitäten
Note the word Studium, which is normally used only in connection with universities.
