How to make a Europass CV

  1. Go to europass.europa.eu and click Create my Europass.
  2. Register so your profile is saved (without an account you cannot keep it).
  3. Fill in the four basic sections: education and training, work experience, language skills and digital skills.
  4. Add projects, publications, awards and volunteering.
  5. Create a CV from your profile, choose a design and save it.
  6. Make a separate version for each scholarship, highlighting what that programme asks for.

What to write in each section

Section What to include
Education Degree, university, dates, CGPA or percentage, thesis title
Work experience Job title, employer, dates and 2–3 results with numbers
Language skills English (and Urdu as mother tongue); add your test score such as IELTS or Duolingo
Digital skills Software and tools you actually use, such as Excel, Python, SPSS, AutoCAD
Projects and achievements Research, publications, competitions, community work

Tips

  • Keep it to two pages. Remove school-level details unless you are applying for a bachelor’s.
  • Use numbers. ‘Taught 40 students’ is stronger than ‘taught students’.
  • Match the programme. Put the most relevant experience first.
  • Check dates and names. They must match your degrees and passport.
