Course title
Not much context here unfortunately... this is a title of a course (as well as "Niveauleren Engels") that a student took as part of an MBA, in addition to language courses such as "French and English: Business Communication." The focus of the study program was obviously classes in business management and trade, but these were supplementary classes for language development as part of an international business approach. The transcripts originate from an educational institution based in Antwerp.
The mainly references I could find offer "leveling" or "grading," but in the context of what happens on a construction site to get it level and flat or when landscaping a lawn.
Thanking you in advance!

"Differentiation refers to a wide variety of teaching techniques and lesson adaptations that educators use to instruct a diverse group of students, with diverse learning needs, in the same course, classroom, or learning environment. Differentiation is commonly used in “heterogeneous grouping”—an educational strategy in which students of different abilities, learning needs, and levels of academic achievement are grouped together. In heterogeneously grouped classrooms, for example, teachers vary instructional strategies and use more flexibly designed lessons to engage student interests and address distinct learning needs—all of which may vary from student to student. The basic idea is that the primary educational objectives—making sure all students master essential knowledge, concepts, and skills—remain the same for every student, but teachers may use different instructional methods to help students meet those expectations." - Retrieve 2/1/17

Discussion
Some support for this is on page 5 of this newspaper (zoom into the last paragraph underneath "Andre ideeën") where they explain "Niveauleren" as "leren op maat" (literally "tailored learning", which means the courses employ a differentiated instruction model)

Perhaps this can drive you in the right direction. When I translate degrees, I usu. either call or email the institution for clarification on the course description.
