English translation:Wirtschaftsinformatiker or Master of Comp. Science&Business Admin. or Master of Information Systems
Explanation:
Wirtschaftsinformatik is a combined degree consisting of Computer Science and Business Administration lessons. A Wirtschaftsinformatiker can be specialized in Business Administration or in Comp.Science depending on the lessons he chose. Therefore the translation should consider both aspects.
Many people just leave the title in German and explain it once: Wirtschaftsinformatiker (Master of Computer Science & Business Administration). I like this most because then everybody can see the actual title and the translation.
Others just use Master of Computer Science & Business Administration which is an accurate description but lengthy.
Often you will find Master of Information Systems but that doesn't really tell the whole story in my opinion.
