Universities, schools and credential evaluation

Admissions offices and UK ENIC do not assess the diploma; they assess the transcript: the modules, hours and grades that show what was actually studied. That single fact explains most delays in university applications from abroad: the certificate was translated, the transcript was not, or the grades were converted into a UK classification the translator had no business assigning.

These guides follow the order in which an application is assessed: qualifications, grades and English first, then credential evaluation, then the family side (children starting school) and funding.
