You have chosen a course, researched the institution and started to picture yourself studying in another country. When it is time to apply, your documents need to present your academic background clearly.

When arranging document translations to study abroad, start with the receiving institution's instructions. Checking these requirements before going ahead helps you organise the translation and its timing.

Start with the institution's requirements

Check which documents you need, in what language, and whether there are formatting or certification requirements. Keep the relevant webpage link or email to send with your files.

For graduate applications to Oxford, the university requires the transcript in its original language and, if it is not in English, an English translation that meets its requirements.

Degree certificates and transcripts serve different purposes

A degree certificate records the qualification awarded. An academic transcript lists courses and grades. When an institution requests both, each plays a part in assessing the application.

Make sure your files are legible and include every page, along with any explanations of the grading scale. That helps us assess everything that needs translating.

Get guidance before you proceed

At Opportunity Translations, we start by asking what you need to submit and when. Our team reviews the documents and the institution's requirements to define the service and delivery format. If sworn translation is required, it needs to be included in that assessment.

Send us the requested academic documents, the institution's instructions and your deadline. Let's prepare for your next step together.
