Make every line count
You may not have years of roles to list, so give the space you do have to concrete work: coursework, projects, part-time jobs, volunteering, and competitions. Describe what you built or improved and the skills it demonstrates.
The Compact theme is built for this — it fits a full set of sections onto one page without looking crowded.
A reliable student structure
- A short summary naming your degree and target role
- Education with expected graduation and relevant modules
- One or two projects described in outcome terms
- Skills grouped by language, tool, and soft skill
- Any internships or part-time work, even if unrelated
Keep the tone plain and specific. A focused page beats a padded one every time.
FAQ
Computer Science Student CV questions
Should education come before experience?
For students and recent graduates, yes — education is usually the strongest section, so put it near the top and let it set the context.
How long should a student CV be?
One page is almost always right. Recruiters for internships and graduate roles expect focus, not volume.
