Fresh Graduate Resume Templates
A graduate resume bridges study and work. It still leads with your degree, but internships, placements, dissertations and projects now carry the weight — and graduate schemes often screen large volumes through an ATS.
These layouts are tagged for graduates and early-career applicants. They keep to one page and leave clear room for a short profile, education with achievements, and two or three experience entries.

What to look for
A profile aimed at the scheme
Name the field or programme you're applying to and the two strengths you'll bring to it.
Internships written like jobs
Title, organisation, dates and two or three outcome bullets — the same as any role.
Dissertation or capstone with a result
One line on the question and one on what you found or built shows research and follow-through.

Questions
How is a graduate resume different from a student one?
A student resume is mostly for internships and part-time work; a graduate resume targets full-time roles and schemes, so internships and results move higher up.
Do graduate schemes use ATS?
Most large schemes do. Filter for ATS 4/5 and above if you're applying through an online portal.
Should I list every module?
No. List two to four modules relevant to the role, or leave them out if your projects already show the skills.
