education level
In UK job ads, you will often see something along the lines of 'you will have a degree in ...'. E.g.:
-> "Candidate:
- You will be 100% sales focused and comfortable working in business and education sectors
- You will be a minimum 2.1 graduate with a educational background in Marketing/Business Development"
http://url.ie/roq
Here I would opt for 'Education level: university degree'.

Theoretically, you might be right. In practice, however, I would tend to disagree. The Dutch labour market is highly diploma-oriented and segmented according to 'niveaus' (hbo, wo, mbo, vmbo, etc.) and specific 'opleidingen'. 'Werk- en denkniveau' will indicate the highest level of academic attainment required for a job, while 'opleiding' would indicate the required field of study. E.g. if you see a job ad with "Werk- en denkniveau: hbo. Opleiding: agogie" then you will definitely need to have a diploma that says "hbo agogie" on it. (Real-life example here: http://url.ie/roz )
It therefore most definitely refers to formal education.

Note from asker:
| Right, but "opleiding" is usualy displayed alongside this term. It is supposed to describe your abilities regardless of the actual, formal education you have (or may not have) enjoyed, I guess. |

: I feel that the term may depend heavily on level of education, but not entirely, and the phrase "denk en werk" is intended to leave open the question whether or not a candidate has actually concluded a given education level (in stead of dropping out).
