Academic CV
What is an academic CV?
An academic CV is the version of your CV written for an admissions committee rather than a recruiter: education first with thesis title and supervisor, then research experience described by contribution, then publications, technical skills and teaching. Two pages is standard for master's applicants; PhD applicants with publications run longer.

Common mistakes
- Submitting a one-page industry résumé, which follows different rules
- Self-rated skill bars, which committees discount
- Converting your grade rather than stating it in its own scale
