How to Translate a Diploma and Degree Certificate? – A Comprehensive Guide by Airui Translation

Introduction

With globalization and international education becoming more common, translating a diploma and degree certificatehas become a crucial step for students and professionals seeking opportunities abroad. Whether applying for further studies, employment, or immigration, an accurate and professionally translated document ensures smooth processing. Airui Translation, a trusted provider of certified translation services, helps individuals and institutions translate their academic credentials with precision and authenticity.

What Are a Diploma and a Degree Certificate?

Before diving into the translation process, it's essential to understand the difference between these two academic documents:

• Diploma (毕业证, Bì yè zhèng) – A diploma certifies that a student has completed a specific course of study and has officially graduated.
• Degree Certificate (学位证, Xué wèi zhèng) – A degree certificate, on the other hand, confirms the level of academic achievement, such as a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree.

Both documents are often required for overseas applications, and their translation must be accurate, complete, and officially recognized.

1. Accuracy of Terminology

Translating academic documents requires precise terminology to maintain their legal and educational value. Common terms include:

Airui Translation ensures that official academic terms are used according to the standards set by international education institutions.
