How to build a Europass CV

Step by step

1. Go to europa.eu/europass and create a free Europass account.
2. Open 'My Library' → 'Create CV' and choose a template (the classic one is best for admissions).
3. Fill in Personal information: full name as in passport, email, phone, nationality. A photo is optional.
4. Add Education first (newest at top): degree, university, dates, CGPA, final thesis title.
5. Add Work experience, internships and volunteering with 2–3 bullet points each.
6. Language skills: use the CEFR self-assessment grid (A1–C2) and mention IELTS / MOI.
7. Add digital skills, projects, publications and certificates.
8. Download as PDF. Name it 'Surname_Name_CV.pdf'.
