Bioscience CV

Bioscience CV

An example CV for a final year Bioscience student.

This is the CV of a final year Bioscience student. They have been involved in a lot of things, work, societies, sports and music, yet they’ve still been able to condense it all into one page, although they have taken the font down to the lowest size we’d advise.

 

As they’ve done so much, they could have created a two page CV if they’d wanted to, but one page does create quite an impact as it really emphasises how busy they have been.

 

You can also view Frederick's CV as a Word document.
