Make your academic CV easier to understand
An academic CV is a clear record of the work that prepares you for your next degree.
Put relevant evidence first
Start with education and the experience most relevant to the program. Research applicants may place projects and publications before general work experience.
Describe your contribution
Use precise verbs and distinguish your own work from the team’s results. Include dates, methods, and outcomes when you can support them.
Label publications accurately
Separate published work, accepted work, submitted manuscripts, and work in progress. Avoid implying peer review or acceptance that has not occurred.
Keep the format easy to scan
Use consistent dates, clear headings, readable type, and restrained formatting. Check the official file and length requirements before uploading.
