Malaysian Academic Transcript Translation — Accepted by ICA, UCAS, WES & Professional Licensing Bodies
We translate Malaysian university and college academic transcripts (Transkrip Akademik) from Bahasa Melayu into certified English — accepted by ICA Singapore, UCAS, WES Canada, ICAS, AHPRA, NMC, and overseas employers.
What Is a Transkrip Akademik?
A Transkrip Akademik is the official record of a student’s course enrolment, subject grades, and cumulative GPA/CGPA issued by a Malaysian university or college. It is the primary academic credential required by overseas universities, employers, immigration authorities, and professional licensing bodies.
Malaysian public universities — UM, UKM, UTM, UPM, UITM, UMS, UniSZA, UPSI and others — issue transcripts in Bahasa Melayu only. Private universities (Sunway, Taylor’s, HELP, Monash Malaysia) typically issue in English or bilingually.
Two documents, one application. Many overseas institutions and credential-evaluation bodies (WES, ICAS, ICA Singapore) require both the academic transcript and the degree certificate (Sijil Ijazah). We translate both and offer a package rate — ask when you WhatsApp us.

AMR ADEL · ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS · UKVI (UK)Everything You Need to Know
What is an academic transcript and how is it different from a degree certificate?
An academic transcript (Transkrip Akademik) is a detailed record of all courses taken, grades received, and cumulative GPA/CGPA. A degree certificate (Sijil Ijazah) is the formal award confirming the qualification. Many overseas institutions require both. We translate both and offer a package rate.
Do Malaysian public university transcripts need to be translated?
Yes. All major public universities — UM, UKM, UTM, UPM, UITM, UMS — issue transcripts in Bahasa Melayu. These require certified English translation for ICA Singapore, UCAS, WES, AHPRA, NMC, and most overseas authorities.
How long does it take to translate an academic transcript?
Most academic transcripts (2–5 pages) are translated and delivered within 24–48 hours. Same-day urgent delivery is available. Notarised translations typically take 2–3 working days.
How is the transcript priced?
Academic transcripts are priced by word count at RM0.45/word for standard certified translation. A typical 3-page transcript of 800–1,200 words costs approximately RM320–RM480. We confirm the exact word count before you commit.
Does the translation include subject names, course codes, and grades?
Yes. Every certified translation includes all subject names, course codes, credit hours, grades, GPA/CGPA, faculty names, programme names, and all official university stamps and seals. Nothing is omitted.
Do I need both my transcript and my degree certificate translated?
It depends on the destination authority. ICA Singapore typically requires both. WES and ICAS require both for credential evaluation. We offer a package rate when both are ordered together.

What is the difference between PNG and CGPA on a Malaysian transcript?
PNG (Purata Nilai Gred) is the Grade Point Average for a single semester. CGPA (Purata Nilai Gred Kumulatif) is the overall cumulative average. In the English translation, PNG is rendered as “GPA” and CGPA as “CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average)”. Both are calculated on a 4.00 scale at most Malaysian public universities.

Malaysian degrees from public universities are generally recognised at UK degree level for UCAS purposes. Certified English translations of transcripts and certificates are required for all non-English academic documents submitted through UCAS. UCAS assesses Malaysian degrees on a case-by-case basis per institution.
