What needs careful translation

An Academic Transcript Is More Than a List of Subjects

Academic transcripts combine structured data, subject names, grades, credits, dates and institutional details. The translation should make it easy for the recipient to compare the English version with the original record.

Grades and credits should be reproduced accurately. A translation should not invent an equivalence or convert an academic grading system unless the receiving service specifically asks for a separate evaluation.

01Module and course namesSubject titles should be translated consistently throughout the record.
02Grades and marksScores and grading references should be reproduced rather than reinterpreted.
03Credits and study periodsCredit values, semesters and academic years should remain aligned with the source.
04Stamps, seals and signaturesRelevant visible institutional markings should be represented where they form part of the record.

Common uses

Where Academic Transcript Translations Are Used

The receiving organisation sets its own evidence rules, so use any specific translation instructions it provides.

Admissions University applications

For admissions teams reviewing previous study completed in another language.

Evaluation Qualification review

For processes where a translated academic record is needed alongside qualification evidence.

Registration Professional bodies

Where a regulator or professional organisation requests academic records in English.

Further use Employment or official evidence

Where an employer or another organisation needs to understand the applicant's academic history.

Certification route

Use the Certification Level the Recipient Actually Requests

Universities, evaluation services, employers and professional bodies can have different requirements. Do not add extra formalities simply because the document is academic.

01 Certified translation

The standard route where the receiving organisation asks for a certified English translation of the transcript.

02 Notarisation

A separate formality involving a notary. Use it only where the recipient specifically asks for it.

03 Evaluation or equivalency

Translation and qualification evaluation are different tasks. A translation reproduces the record; it does not independently assign UK equivalence.

Common questions

Academic Transcript Translation FAQs

Requirements vary by institution and purpose, so the receiving organisation's document instructions should always take priority.

Ask about your transcript
What is included in an academic transcript translation?
The translation can cover the visible academic record, including module names, grades, marks, credits, dates, award information, institutional details, stamps and other relevant entries shown on the transcript.
Will you convert my grades into the UK grading system?
A translation should reproduce the original academic information rather than invent an equivalence. Grade conversion or qualification comparison is a separate evaluation task unless the receiving service explicitly requests something different.
Do I need my degree certificate translated as well?
That depends on the receiving organisation. Some applications require both the transcript and the degree or award certificate. Use the Degree Certificate Translation page for the certificate itself.
Do I need a notarised transcript translation?
Not automatically. Notarisation is a separate formality. Add it only if the university, evaluator, employer or professional body specifically asks for it.
Can I upload photographs instead of scans?
Clear photographs can be used where every entry is legible, but scans are often easier to review for dense tables, small grades, stamps and notes.
Will the translation guarantee my application or evaluation is approved?
No. The translation can be prepared to the stated requirements, but the university, evaluation service, employer or professional body makes its own decision about the underlying application or qualification.
