An English CV for grants and master's programmes that committees actually read

International grants and universities ask for an English CV in a clear format. In PlagiatX you pick a design and answer a 7-step questionnaire in Uzbek, Russian or English for free. The GrantGlobus package gives you a 0–10 readiness score with what to improve, matching grants and a CV in professional English — a PDF in one of 20 designs. Applying to Germany?

What committees look for in a CV

• Education: university, field, GPA and the grading scale
• Research, projects and work experience — with results, not a list of duties
• Publications, conferences and awards
• Language certificate (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.) with score and date
• One tense, short phrases and active verbs

Academic vs Europass-style

Academic is a compact layout that puts research, publications and education first — a good fit for master's, PhD and fellowship applications. Europass-style follows the structure common in European programmes. PlagiatX builds both — plus 18 modern photo designs (6 layouts in 3 colours) — from the same data. It is not the official Europass platform, but a template that follows its structure.

Common mistakes

• A CV in Uzbek or mixed languages
• A list of duties without results
• Mixed tenses and date formats
• Unnecessary personal details and an informal e-mail
• One generic CV for every grant

• Answers are put into professional English; no facts are added

Questions

Does AI write the CV for me?

No. The CV is built only from your answers. AI puts them into professional English and a consistent style; it does not add achievements or facts.

Does the readiness score show my chance of winning?

No, it is not a probability of winning. The score shows how ready your profile is for international grants and explains what to improve.

Should my CV have a photo?

It depends on the country. The US, UK, Canada and Australia usually expect no photo — there are 2 classic ATS designs for that. In Germany, Austria and many European countries a photo is common — 18 modern designs include one. The photo is used only in your CV, with its metadata removed.

What is free and what is paid?

The questionnaire, picking a design and the GrantGlobus globe are free. The readiness score, matching grants, the detailed check and the CV PDF come with the GrantGlobus package — a one-time payment (180 days); there is also a bundle with a motivation letter review. Current prices are on the Pricing page.

Do I also need a motivation letter?

Many grants ask for a motivation letter together with the CV. The coach reviews your draft against the grant's requirements — you write the letter, the coach guides you.
