Het is voor een cv. Persoon in kwestie heeft twintig jaar geleden geen BA of MA gedaan maar een kandidaats.

'kandidaats' (examination)

Could not find a direct translation anywhere. However, according to Nuffic, Hoger Onderwijs Termen, Nederlands > Engels: the 'kandidaats'examination was "conducted for the last time in 1986. Only those students who passed the 'kandidaats' examination could sit the 'doctoraal'(final) examination". I would imagine that it is some sort of preliminary examination. Candidates cannot sit the final examination unless they have first sat the preliminary examination.

Might be a good idea to call Chris Hopley to this question.

agree writeaway : that's what's in Jurlex too. it can't be 'updated' to fit its modern day equivalent.

In dat geval kun je misschien "candidate" gebruiken.
Zie bijvoorbeeld http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=*FACREC&n=33183

"Legal education in Belgium traditionally consisted of a two year programme (candidate of laws), followed by a three year programme (licensee of laws). As a result of the implementation of the Bologna Agreement, this structure is gradually being replaced by a three year bachelor and two year master's programme from the academic year 2004-05 onward. Consequently, in 2004-05 only the second year of the Candidate of laws programme is offered. In New first year students are enrolled in the bachelor programme"

Final examination / Finals

Final examination or "finals" in the UK, if it's the last set of exams in an undergraduate degree programme.

E.g. http://www.socialsciences.man.ac.uk/baecon/exams/exams_y3.ht...

(Following on from your additional info): Three year undergraduate education would be equivalent to a BA, so if you want to avoid "BA" I would say "(University) Diploma", but not undergraduate diploma which is a 2-year (equiv. to licentiate) course.
