The English application: Curriculum vitae
Curriculum vitae: Education/academic background
Education and academic background
Start with the last and most recent educational training. List your educational experiences in reverse chronological order.
Academic education
Among the most important details is the name of the university, college or university of applied science that you attended.
College or University of Applied Science
Your field of study and focus area must be included, along with the title of your thesis and the final grade.
Further education
The concept of ‘less is more’ applies here as well. Not all further trainings need be listed, only those associated with the job in question. Likewise, primary education does not belong in the CV; it only takes up unnecessary space.
Professional training
If you have completed a professional training and this is of relevance for the vacancy, add it to your academic background. Provide the name of the training organization, the location, the job for which you were trained and the final grade.
Schooling
At the end, mention your highest school diploma. Normally, this would be a high school or secondary school diploma. In addition to the diploma, mention the school's name, the location and your final grade. Possible priorities or main courses may also be relevant for the application under certain circumstances.
