Behind a Greek diploma lie years of study, examinations and, often, professional experience of which a single certificate offers only a glimpse. If you intend to present those qualifications in Switzerland, the reader should be able to appreciate what you have learnt and accomplished. Our Greek translation agency in Switzerland renders your educational records with the precision needed to make their substance accessible. Whether you are pursuing further study, completing a job application or preparing a submission to a recognition body, Dialektikus+ discusses the intended use before agreeing the scope and form of your translation.

Making Academic Records Accessible to Universities

A university application frequently depends on the full picture of your education. Alongside the qualification itself, a list of subjects, examination results or individual course descriptions may be germane. First things first: establish which documents your chosen university requires under its current instructions. Once these are available, the translation brief can be tailored accordingly.

A curriculum calls for a different kind of linguistic discernment from a succinct diploma. Where course content, learning objectives and practical components are described, substantive distinctions must remain clear. We use precise nomenclature, avoiding the inadvertent conflation of related courses or wording that implies a greater degree of specialisation than the original supports.

With transcripts, every word bears scrutiny; the devil is in the detail. Beyond an individual grade, the examination title, recorded period or explanatory key may be significant. Numbers, units and annotations are considered together. Any grading scale appearing in the original is reproduced, without taking the liberty of converting it into a Swiss grade.

Terminological coherence must extend across the entire dossier. Where the same programme appears on a diploma, transcript of records and supplementary certificate, the connection should be apparent. Existing official English versions can provide useful points of reference; please include them and explain whether they are intended solely as guidance. This helps us keep the terminology on an even keel.

The result is a linguistically coherent basis on which the recipient can consider your education. Admission and the award of credit remain matters for the institution, according to its own criteria. Translation helps its readers make sense of your evidence and helps you prepare an application whose relevant substance does not get lost beneath unfamiliar terminology.

Preparing Documents for the Assessment of Qualifications

Before setting a course for your professional future, establish who will receive your dossier. An application to an employer, an assessment of a qualification’s level and a formal recognition procedure can serve different purposes. This distinction is pivotal to translation, since it influences which documents and attestations are requested. Getting your bearings at this stage helps define the commission.

Swiss ENIC, for instance, provides information on the recognition of foreign higher education qualifications and, subject to certain conditions, issues non-binding statements of their level. Its stated assessment requirements include the original diploma and supplementary academic records; Greek-language documents must be accompanied by an official translation. Check the applicable conditions with the responsible body beforehand.

Such a statement of level should not simply be equated with professional recognition. Official recognition information can help establish which body assesses your qualification and which evidence it needs. Once you have that clarity, send us the specific document list. You can then avoid commissioning translations that do not fit the bill for the procedure concerned.

Assessing equivalence may require information beyond the diploma itself, such as documented course content or practical experience, where requested by the receiving institution. We translate the existing statements with due discrimination. We do not fill gaps in the evidence, and a linguistic correspondence cannot substitute for a substantive decision on equivalence. Each has its own distinct remit.

If you are picking up the threads of your career after a lengthy interruption, your records may be scattered across several folders and versions. An inventory helps put your house in order. Mark documents already submitted and those newly requested, enabling us to quote transparently for the additional work required.

Bringing Your Application into a Persuasive Whole

A job application is no place to hide your light under a bushel. Your qualifications become more intelligible when educational certificates, employment references and your CV form a coherent account. Translation contributes by accurately conveying disciplines, responsibilities and periods of employment. Exaggerated embellishment, however polished, would do your credibility no favours.

Greek job titles sometimes become clear only when considered alongside the associated duties. Let us know the professional setting in which a term was used and provide any existing explanations. Such contextualisation helps us find apposite wording that conveys the documented responsibilities without conferring a position or function unsupported by the evidence.

Personal particulars merit the same meticulous care as specialist terminology. Consistent names, dates and designations make it easier to connect documents. Flag known discrepancies at the outset so that we are on the same page. We preserve the source information and discuss inconsistencies rather than quietly harmonising divergent versions.

For dependable scheduling, tell us both your submission deadline and the required delivery format. An initial PDF and a paper copy submitted later may involve different stages. Certification requirements are clarified against the recipient’s instructions, and the quotation distinguishes that supplementary service from the translation itself. This helps keep your preparations on track.

When you are ready to put your plans into practice, send Dialektikus+ your Greek educational and employment records, the requirements list and your preferred delivery date. Our Greek translation agency in Switzerland will examine the documents and prepare a transparent quotation. You will know which services you are commissioning and how the translation fits into your wider preparations.
