CV for dutch universities

hey!
do you know what should be included in the CV for the univerities in the Netherlands? is it something like a personal statement or something different?
does anyone have any good resources on how to write it or any tips?
and have you used the help of any tutor/company to give you feedback on the CV?
(I'm applying for medicine if that makes any difference)

thank you so much!

Hi, yes it would be a personal statement, a small paragraph at the top of your CV all about you. Google personal statement templates as they will be able to help you write one for yourself. :smile:

I wrote my personal statement for the UK unis, but is this CV for Dutch unis the same thing?
No it is not. CV is curriculum vitae and personal statement is a motivational letter. They are two different things. Which uni are you applying to?
