#copied *Research CV (For Masters & PhD)* > Many students ask me how to create an impressive CV-should they use Europass or another format? *👉 My honest answer:* > The format doesn't matter as much as the content does. A well-organized and clearly written CV is far more impactful than just choosing a popular template. > Here's a sample CV format I personally used (likewise not this exact) during my scholarship journey. It helped me secure multiple scholarships-and I always recommend this structure: *Recommended CV Sections:* *1. Education* *2. Research Experience* MS: Graduate Research Assistant (mention thesis, lab work, tools used) BS: Junior Researcher (highlight any academic projects or thesis in bullet points) *3. Work Experience* Mention your responsibilities in bullets *4. Research Skills* Mention your research oriented skills like programming etc *5. Research Interests* Mention on what you have worked & wanna link it *6. Publications (if any)* List them if there are any already published If not published write (Submitted) If in progress write (In process) *7. Honors & Achievements* List your accomplishments *8. Language Scores (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, etc.)* *9. References (2-3 referees)* Preferably those, whose recommendation letters you gonna submit. Try to not less than Assistant professor just to support your case. *Note:* Your CV for Masters must not be more than two pages and for PhD it must not exceed 3 pages. *Remember:* Clear structure, bullet points, and relevant content are key. *Pro Tip:* If your CV is short, you can also add a "Major Courses" section for BS or MS to show your academic background more clearly. All the best
