Split Text

Maybe thihs a simple question but make me a headache, how we split the text like this

The data is always like this:
Andrew, M.Sc(1); Anton, Ph.D(2); Anita, MA(3)

and the results are:

Andrew, M.Sc.
Anton, Ph.D.
Anita, MA

Hope my explanation is clear for you guys,

You can try Data > Text to Columns and delimiter. Use ; as delimiter.
The suffix (1), (2),(3) are they part of the text too? Do they need to be removed or you have included to help clarify the problem.
 
If possible consider using Power Query (Get & Transform).

Load from table
Transform - Split Column and define this.

Repeat the same to split in columns at first occurrence of "("
Then save and load to table
