Certified Translations for UK University Admissions
UK universities and UCAS applications require academic documents to be provided in English. If your transcripts, diplomas or degree certificates are in another language, admissions teams ask for a certified English translation submitted alongside the original. Our certified translations keep grades and module names intact so admissions tutors can assess your academic history accurately.

FAQ
UK Universities translation questions
Do UK universities accept certified translations of my transcript?
Yes. Admissions teams accept certified English translations of foreign transcripts, diplomas and degree certificates, submitted with the original-language document. Requirements can vary slightly by institution, so check your offer conditions.
Should the translator convert my grades to a UK scale?
No. The translation keeps your original grades and classifications, with an explanatory note where useful. Universities and services such as UK ENIC map them to UK equivalents themselves.
Is a certified translation enough, or do I also need ENIC?
Many courses accept a certified translation for admissions. Some may additionally ask for a UK ENIC Statement of Comparability. Check your specific offer, as requirements differ by university and programme.
