Please be aware that this is an example. Use it as a template to help generate ideas and structure your own CV but avoid copying and pasting. Your own CV needs to be original and tailored to the job you’re applying for.

Begin your academic CV with a concise introductory personal statement, giving a summary of your skills, experience and career ambitions.

List your achievements in reverse chronological order, starting with your qualifications. Give details of your degrees and your research, but don’t take up too much space. Unlike other CVs, academic CVs are often several pages long, but still need to be concise and to the point. To save space list key subjects rather than all of your GCSEs. Try to keep the document to three pages if possible.

Don’t leave out any teaching experience and be sure to list your published work. Conferences, awards and professional memberships should all be shown, where relevant.

While academic successes take precedence you’ll still need to include your employment history – even temporary or part-time work is worth listing. This experience shows another side of you and of your experience outside the world of academia.

Finish your CV by giving details of your referees. Try to include a non-academic one if possible.
