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

Introduction

With the increasing frequency of international exchanges, more students choose to study abroad, work overseas, or immigrate. In these processes, translating diplomas and degree certificates becomes an essential step. Whether for university applications, employment verification, or immigration procedures, an accurate and professional translation ensures that documents are accepted smoothly without unnecessary delays due to translation errors.

As a professional translation service provider, Airui Translation specializes in delivering high-quality, officially certified translations of diplomas and degree certificates, ensuring international recognition of your academic credentials.

Difference Between a Diploma and a Degree Certificate

Before translating these documents, it’s important to understand their differences:

• Diploma Certificate (毕业证, Bì yè zhèng) – A diploma confirms that a student has completed a specific course of study and meets graduation requirements.
• Degree Certificate (学位证, Xué wèi zhèng) – A degree certificate certifies a student’s academic achievement, awarding them a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree.

Both documents are essential for university applications, job certifications, and immigration procedures, so their translations must be accurate and comply with international standards.

Key Considerations in Translating Diplomas and Degree Certificates

1. Accurate Terminology in Compliance with Global Standards

When translating academic documents, it is crucial to use internationally recognized terms. Below are some common translation examples:

Diploma and degree certificate translations are not just about language conversion—they must also maintain official formatting, including:

✅ Student name, gender, and date of birth
✅ Enrollment and graduation dates
