Degree transcript
In a Prüfungsleistungsübersicht I have the following group headings for subjects the student has taken for a BA degree:
Kernbereich
Profilbereich
Referenzbereich
I've translated 'Kernbereich' as 'Core Subject' but am unsure of the best way to translate the other two, as 'profile' and 'reference' subjects would be meaningless in English. 'Special' and 'Elective'?

From the definition of "Profilbereich" in the above document (page 8), it seems that the closest translation is "area of specialization"
It is also used in many universities websites

area of concentration
Unfortunately, sources don't seem to provide a unified picture. But the first one below contains all three terms you mentioned, so the odds are probably higher for this one to fit your scenario.
Compare with this:
"Der Profilbereich
Der Profilbereich bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit zur fachlichen Spezialisierung. Die inhaltliche Ausgestaltung des Profilbereichs orientiert sich an den Kompetenzen und Inhalten, die für die wissenschaftliche Reflexion frühpädagogischer Handlungsfelder nötig sind." http://www.uni-giessen.de/studium/studienangebot/bachelor/ki...
