# 4. Create Database Models

To quickly start building applications on Cosmocloud, you would be creating various Models and APIs on the platform.

You can start by creating your first model, for ex. **Students**. You can do so by -

1. Visit the Models page via **Application Layer -> DB Models** from the Cosmocloud project's dashboard.
2. Click on **Create Model** button.
3. Select the type of Model as **Database Collection** to create a database schema for your new entity. Checkout here for [more model types](/resources/models.md).
4. Add a name to your model (for ex. `Students`) as well as a description.
5. Click on **Create**.

Now you can go ahead and define the schema of your newly created Model under the **Schema** tab. [Checkout how to define model schemas](/resources/models/building-models.md).
