How do I write a projects section on a student resume?

Choose two to four projects that relate to the job, give each a clear title, context and dates, and describe what you did and what resulted in one to three bullets. A good projects section can do the work of an experience section for students.

Format:
"Title | Context (course, competition or personal) | Dates

• What you built, researched or produced, and the tools used.
• Your role, if it was a team.
• The result: grade, users, findings, award or feedback."

Example:
"Campus Parking Finder App | Mobile Development module | Sep – Dec 2025

• Built an Android app in Kotlin showing free parking spaces from a shared spreadsheet.
• Worked in a team of three; designed the database and wrote the search feature.
• Tested with 25 students; demonstrated to the class and received the top project grade."

Put the most relevant project first, and link to code, a portfolio or a demo if you have one. Leave out small exercises and projects that add nothing new.
