Accurate, Secure Translation Services for Universities and Researchers
Clear communication matters. At University Translations, we provide professional human translation services tailored specifically for universities, researchers, academics, and education providers across the UK and internationally. We offer translation from audio, text and also transcription in languages other than English. From research papers and ethics documentation to course materials and institutional communications, we help you share knowledge accurately, confidently, and compliantly.
With over two decades of experience supporting the education sector, we understand academic standards, funding pressures, and the importance of precision in every word. University Translations is the translation service from University Transcriptions, specialist academic transcribers for English to English audio and video recordings.
Specialist Translation Services for Higher Education

- Academic research papers and journal articles

Every project is handled by professional linguists with subject-matter expertise, ensuring your meaning, tone, and academic integrity are preserved.
Human Translation – Not Machine Guesswork
Automated tools may be quick, but they cannot deliver the accuracy, nuance, or accountability required in academic work. Our translations are completed entirely by experienced human translators, then quality-checked for consistency and accuracy.
This means:
- Correct handling of specialist terminology
- Accurate representation of complex ideas
- No fabricated content or contextual errors (very common in AI transcription)
- Translations you can confidently submit, publish, or cite
For universities and researchers, accuracy is not optional — it is essential.
