Vietnamese Academic Documents for Georgian Universities, and Georgian Degrees for Vietnam

Admission to Georgian universities: bằng tốt nghiệp and học bạ

Admission to a bachelor's program at a Georgian university - most often English-language medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing or IT in Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi - requires the bằng tốt nghiệp trung học phổ thông (high school diploma) and the học bạ (school record book with grades for grades 10 to 12), and for some programs the national high school exam results. Master's admission requires the university degree (bằng cử nhân, bằng kỹ sư, bằng bác sĩ) and bảng điểm (transcript). Universities accept certified translations with our stamp for the initial application and require notarized translations of legalized originals for enrollment and for the Ministry of Education's recognition of prior education. Vietnamese universities increasingly issue bilingual Vietnamese-English documents, which we translate from the Vietnamese as the authoritative text. We translate the full packet within one business day and keep the student's transliteration and course glossary on file for their whole degree.

Credit transfer and students changing universities

Vietnamese students transferring from a university in Vietnam, or from another foreign university, into a Georgian program need their transcripts translated course by course so the Georgian faculty can map credits, and students moving between Georgian universities need Georgian transcripts translated into English or Vietnamese for the receiving institution and for their families. Course names in Vietnamese medical curricula follow conventions that differ from Georgian ones, and our medical translators, who are physicians, map them to the terminology Georgian faculties use rather than translating literally, which makes the credit committee's work faster. Student status letters from Georgian universities are translated into Vietnamese for families, Vietnamese banks, sponsors and the Vietnamese embassy.

Georgian medical and dental degrees for recognition in Vietnam

The most important education file in this pair runs from Georgia to Vietnam. A Vietnamese graduate of a Georgian medical, dental or pharmacy program returning home must have the degree recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training (công nhận văn bằng do cơ sở giáo dục nước ngoài cấp) before it can be used for employment or for the medical practice license (chứng chỉ hành nghề) from the Ministry of Health, which additionally requires proof of clinical practice. The packet - diploma, diploma supplement with hours and credits, transcript, internship and rotation records, and sometimes the university's accreditation documents - is translated into Vietnamese, notarized, certified by the Georgian MFA and legalized by the Vietnamese embassy. We prepare it during the final semester so it is ready at graduation, and we translate the Georgian accreditation and program descriptions that the ministry asks for in cases of doubt.

IT, business and other Georgian degrees for Vietnam and third countries

Vietnamese graduates of Georgian IT, business, tourism and engineering programs need the same recognition packet for the Ministry of Education and Training, though without the medical licensing step, and many use their Georgian degree to apply for master's programs or jobs in third countries - Europe, Australia, Korea, Japan - where the Georgian diploma is apostilled rather than consular-legalized and translated into English rather than Vietnamese. We handle both routes and can prepare the diploma for Vietnam and for a third country in one order, since the Georgian original needs only to be apostilled once for all Hague destinations while the Vietnamese legalization is separate.

School certificates, language certificates and student visas

Vietnamese families settling in Georgia enroll children in international schools or Georgian public schools with the child's học bạ, giấy khai sinh and vaccination records translated; schools generally accept certified translations for placement. Language certificates - IELTS and TOEFL for English-language programs, and Georgian language certificates for Georgian-language programs - are translated into Georgian or Vietnamese as required, and Vietnamese employers occasionally ask for translated Georgian language certificates from returning workers. The student residence permit requires the passport and the legalized lý lịch tư pháp translated and notarized, plus the university's admission letter, and student status letters are translated for renewals and for the Vietnamese embassy's consular registration.

Motivation letters, recommendations, CVs and timing

Vietnamese applicants to Georgian programs ask us to translate or edit motivation letters and CVs in English, and to translate recommendation letters from Vietnamese teachers and professors while preserving the signature block; graduates applying onward to Europe or Australia use the same service. Doctoral candidates need thesis abstracts and publication lists translated. Native English and Vietnamese editors with academic backgrounds handle these texts.

On timing: the translation is the fast part, usually one business day for a full packet. The slow part is the legalization chain, which can take a month in either direction. For admission, start the legalization of the diploma and lý lịch tư pháp as soon as the university's conditional offer arrives, and send us scans so the translation is ready when the legalized originals reach Tbilisi. For graduation, start the Georgian-side legalization in the final semester. Keep the legalized diploma safe, because it is reusable for every future employer and institution.
