Yes, you are right, as you can see from the excerpts I pasted below. These excerpts come from the Trinity College -- Dublin's websites.
As you said, Junior Freshman, Senior Freshman, Junior Sophister, and Senir Sophister are years 1 to 4 in an Irish University. Thus, estudiante de 1o, 2do., 3er., y 4o. are good translations for a JF, SF, JS, and SS student, respectivly.
Also, Moderartorship in ... is the degree that is awarded after those 4 years; and Moderator is the individual holding that degree. To that extent, these terms are roughly equivalent to Licentiatura en ... and Licenciado en ... There is, however, some discussion as to whether the use of the term Licenciatura is appropriate to to refer to the B.S/B.A. degrees available in the US.
And, yes, it stands to reason to call a "Two Subject Moderartorship", "Doble Licenciatura."

TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN (Ireland)
The undergraduate moderatorship (honours degree) is generally a four year course in all faculties. Entry is competitive, with the level for any course being determined by supply and demand, based on results obtained in the School Leaving Certificate examination. The class of degree is largely determined by performance in the examinations held in June of the final year. In Engineering and Science, a considerable proportion of the final degree classification is based on a research project.

Course Structure
The course structure is based on a distinction between the first and second (Freshman) years and the third and fourth (Sophister) years. In the Junior and Senior Freshman years, Trinity students follow general courses in biology, chemistry, physics, geography and geology, designed to provide a broadly based training in the fundamental sciences. It is possible for visiting students with some basic background in Science to follow courses at Freshman level, but owing to constraints of space, places in laboratory classes are currently very limited, particularly in the case of Biology and Chemistry. Applicants should also note that Freshman courses in Physics require a background in mathematics.
In the Junior and Senior Sophister years, Trinity students major in one subject from the above list, and may also take a number of complimentary specialist modules of varying weight and length in other subjects. A good grounding in the appropriate discipline is a prerequisite for admission to Sophister courses. As guidance to what might be considered a reasonable background level of study, applicants should read the contents of the Freshman courses in the appropriate area, and note that a Trinity student proceeding to Sophister courses has completed two years of exclusive study in Science, one-third of that time being in the particular discipline concerned.

For sophister I have not found the translation but I hope the following explanation will help:
sophister= a second-year undergraduate at certain British universities
