Course descriptions translation

Course descriptions (the curriculum) are documents showing the scope, credits and learning outcomes of each course. They are required for qualification recognition and course exemption applications and are usually the largest part of the file.

This document accounts for the greatest share of translation costs and time; it can run to dozens of pages. Planning your application schedule accordingly helps prevent last-minute delays.

Which institutions request this document?

  • Council of Higher Education (YÖK) — for equivalency assessment
  • Foreign universities — for course exemption and transfer procedures
  • Professional associations — for assessing professional qualifications

Certification requirements

Is notarisation required?

Notarized translations are required in qualification recognition files.

Is an apostille required?

An apostille may be requested for a course description document certified by the university; it is obtained from a provincial or district governor's office.

There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.

Preparing your document

  • Obtain a certified and stamped copy from your university
  • Ask the institution whether it requires all courses or only specific courses
  • Obtaining the file in an editable format (a PDF with a text layer) can shorten the turnaround time
  • Because the document has many pages, share the entire file for a quote

Frequently asked questions

Do the descriptions of all courses need to be translated?

Qualification recognition applications generally require a record covering all courses. Confirming the scope in advance has a significant effect on the cost.

How is the price determined for files with many pages?

The price is calculated by character count; the unit rate may be lower when repeated headings and table structures are taken into account.
