Template — Academic CV

An academic CV lists your education, research and experience for admissions committees. It is more detailed than a job résumé, but every line should still earn its place.

Document contents

  • The template, ready to fill in: replace each field in brackets
  • A page of advice to adapt it to your situation
  • Two pages at most: For most master’s applications, one or two pages is enough.
  • Most recent first: Start each section with your latest entry.
  • No photo: In the UK and the US, leave out your photo, age and marital status.

This document is for you if…

  • You are preparing an application and want a strong file
  • You want a clear template to adapt to your programme
  • You want to avoid the mistakes that cost an admission
