Translate your university degree certificate into English or another supported language for university admissions, employment, professional registration, immigration and other official submissions.
A degree certificate translation reproduces the meaningful content of an academic award certificate in another language. This can include your qualification title, university name, field of study, award date, classification, certificate numbers, signatures, stamps, seals and official notes.
A certified translation also includes written confirmation identifying the translation as a true and accurate rendering of the source document.
Translation and qualification assessment are different services. Translation explains what your degree certificate says; it does not independently determine what level the qualification is equivalent to in the UK.
Tell us where the certificate is going before translation begins. The receiving university, employer, regulator or authority may have its own document and certification requirements.
A university may ask for the degree certificate, academic transcript, diploma supplement, course information or several of these together.
Employers may need the qualification title, institution, award date and classification translated for recruitment, screening or qualification checks.
A professional body may request the degree together with transcripts, module descriptions, placement records or professional licences.
A visa route can involve a certified translation, qualification-comparison evidence, English-proficiency evidence or a combination of requirements.
The translation should represent the complete visible certificate rather than only translating the degree title. Send the reverse side and attached pages too when they contain official information.
These are related but different documents and services. A recipient may ask for one, two or all three.
| Document / service | What it shows | Common details | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Degree certificate | Confirms that an academic award was granted. | Degree title, graduate name, institution and award date. | The document this page is designed to translate. |
| Academic transcript | Provides detailed academic results. | Modules, grades, marks, credits and study periods. | May be required in addition to the degree certificate. |
| Qualification comparison | Assesses how an overseas qualification compares with a UK level. | Formal comparability information. | This is an assessment service, not a translation. |
Need the detailed academic record as well? See our academic transcript translation service. For formal UK qualification comparison, review the separate Ecctis Qualification Comparison service.

Providing these details at the beginning helps confirm the correct certification, price, turnaround and delivery format without avoidable follow-up.
Standard certified translation is the usual route for straightforward degree certificates. Faster processing can be reviewed when the document, language pair and translator availability allow.

The final cost is confirmed after the certificate, language pair, certification requirement and deadline have been reviewed.
The expected standard turnaround is confirmed after the certificate, language pair and requirements are reviewed.
A faster option may be available for suitable files and languages after availability is confirmed.
A certified PDF can be supplied for online admissions, employment, registration and other submissions.
A certified hard copy can be arranged when the receiving organisation requests physical delivery.
Postal delivery, notarisation, apostille or legalisation require additional time beyond the translation itself.
A few simple checks before uploading can prevent questions about missing pages, name spellings and the wrong certification route.
Reverse-side notices, attached pages and authentication entries can form part of the official document. Include them when relevant.
Keep all document edges, stamps, seals, reference numbers and small identifying details visible in the uploaded file.
Where relevant, provide the spelling already used in your passport, immigration records or previous academic applications.
A degree certificate confirms the award, while an academic transcript normally lists subjects, grades, credits and study periods.
A translation explains the certificate's content but does not determine the formal UK level of an overseas qualification.
Choose notarisation, an apostille or sworn translation only when the organisation receiving the document requires that route.
Requirements differ between universities, employers, professional bodies and immigration routes. Send us the recipient's instructions with your certificate whenever they are available.

Yes. Degree certificates can be translated into English from supported languages, including the relevant visible qualification, institution, date, classification, stamp, seal and official-note details.

The expected standard turnaround is confirmed after the file, language pair and deadline have been reviewed. Express service may be available after the file, language pair and deadline have been reviewed.
A clear scan, PDF or readable photograph is normally sufficient for review and translation. The organisation receiving your application may separately require the original certificate or an official copy.
Relevant visible grades, classifications, university information, dates, stamps, seals, signatures and official notes are included or described appropriately.
