German term (edited):
berufsfähigend
pre-professional
"Pre-professional architecture degree" appears to be the (North American) term for a bachelors degree of 3-4 years study which does not lead to a BArch qualification. A BArch requires a longer period of study.

Berufsbefähigung/Berufsqualifizierung/Employability
In den Bachelor- und Master-Studiengängen ist neben der fundierten wissenschaftlichen Ausbildung die Vermittlung von praxisnäheren Studieninhalten, berufsfeldbezogenen Zusatzqualifikationen (z.B. BWL, EDV, Fremdsprachen) und von Schlüsselqualifikationen (z.B. Teamfähigkeit, Präsentationstechniken, kommunikative Kompetenz) von zentraler Bedeutung. Dadurch will man ***die Berufsbefähigung der Absolventen erhöhen und somit ihre Chancen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt verbessern.***

Dear Leander,
I do hope that when you close this question you give us some detailed feedback on your choice. Should you decide to go for the current leader ('professionally qualifying') I trust you will tell us what noun you propose to tack onto this phrase and how you intend this to be understood.

Oh, and you might also like to consider the etiquette of singling one answer out as 'great' and ignoring the efforts made by others to help you with your translation.

Note from asker:
| Dear Andrew, Thank you very much for your comments and queries. The final sentence reads as follows: "The three-year professionally qualifying Bachelor's Degree Programme forms the basis of the two-year Master's Degree Programme." I am also glad you raised the question of etiquette, as this has been worrying me for some time. I was under the impression that I could ony select one answerer, and this seemed to mean that I could not thank the others. I should greatly appreciate it if you would tell me how I can achieve this in future. Regards, Leander |

: How does a berufsbefähigende Studiengang differ from a another course of studies?

It is a 'career-enhancing' course, 'the best possible preparation for a future career' and it makes you 'eminently employable'. Very suitable for anyone who is keen on 'qualifying for a profession' (but not ‘professionally qualifying’).
