Curriculum Vitae

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a comprehensive document that outlines an individual’s academic background, professional experience, skills, achievements, and other relevant information. 

In the context of studying abroad, a CV serves as a vital component of the application package, helping universities understand the applicant’s educational history, internships, research work, certifications, extracurricular involvement, and any other accomplishments. 

Unlike a resume, which is often concise and tailored to a specific job, a CV is typically more detailed and used in academic or research-oriented applications. It allows admissions committees to assess the applicant’s overall profile, readiness for higher studies, and potential contributions to the academic environment. 

A well-structured CV presents the applicant’s journey clearly and professionally, making a strong first impression and complementing other documents like the Statement of Purpose (SOP) and Letters of Recommendation (LORs).
