INTERESTS

My main interest in life is build-ing and flying model aircrafts, which has been my passion from a young age. This has influenced my knowledge of electronics, design, construc-tion and is what led me too architecture. I am social and active, enjoying sports like skiing, football, golf and gym which is a obligatory part of my day.

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)

• ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the workload of a full-time student during one academicyear. The student workload of a full-time study pro-gramme in Europe amounts in most cases to around 1500-1800 hours per year and in those cases one credit stands for around 25 to 30 working hours.

• Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after successful completion of the work re-quired and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved. Learning out-comes are sets of competences, expressing what the student will know, understand or be able to do after completion of a process of learning, long or short.

• Student workload in ECTS consists of the time required to complete all planned learning activities such as attending lectures, seminars, independent and private study, preparation of projects and examinations.

• Credits are allocated to all educational components of a study programme (such as modules, courses, placements, dissertation work, etc.) and reflect the quantity of work each component requires to achieve its specific objectives or learning outcomes in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of study successfully.

• The performance of the student is documented by a local/national grade. It is good practice to add an ECTS grade, in particular in case of credit transfer. The ECTS grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. Therefore, statistical data on student performance is a prerequisite for applying the ECTS grading system. Grades are assigned among students with a pass grade as follows:

A EXCELLENT – outstanding work with a few minor shortcomings 10%

B VERY GOOD – above-average work but with some shortcomings 25%

C GOOD – solid work throughout but with some significant shortcomings 30%

D SATISFACTORY – fairly good work but with a no. of serious shortcomings 25%

E Acceptable – work that meets the minimum requirements 10%

A distinction is made between the grades FX and F that are used for unsuccessful students. FX means: “fail- somemore work required to pass” and F means: “fail – considerable further work required”. The inclusion of failure rates in the Transcript of Records is optional. The school of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts does not include failure rates.

From september 1. 2007 a new crediting system was introduced

12: For an excellent performance displaying a high level of command of all aspects of the relevant material, with no or only a few minor weaknesses.

10: For a very good performance displaying a high level of command of most aspects of the relevant material, with only minor weaknesses.

7: For a good performance displaying good command of the relevant material but also some weaknesses.

4: For a fair performance displaying some command of the relevant material but also some major weaknesses.

02: For a performance meeting only the minimum requirements for acceptance.

00: For a performance which does not meet the minimum requirements for acceptance.

-3: For a performance which is unacceptable in all respects.

00 and -3 are marks used for unsuccessfull students.

MLA Reference: Nicholas Oslington Reference

To Whom it May Concern,

Nicholas Oslington - Graduate Studies in Architecture

Nicholas was a student of mine at Kingston University between 2010 and 2011. Nicholas is an earnest and receptive student with an innate architectural intelligence. His degree project was a sophisticated response to the design of a mixed-use development on a complicated, city centre site. The project is coherently and thoroughly developed with a clear understanding of the social and constructional issues surrounding the building type. Nicholas draws well and makes good and perceptive models, skills that he is able to use maturely to make sensitive spatial and material judgements. Yours sincerely Michael Lee

Reference letter for Nicholas OslingtonPostgraduate Architecture

Dear Madam/Sir:I am very pleased to write this letter of reference for Nicholas Oslington. I was Nicholas’ studio tutor for his 2nd year at Kingston University in 2009‐10.Nicholas was a talented and serious student who pursued ideas with flair and commitment showing a real desire to learn and develop. He experimented with different working methods and media and developed his drawing, graphic and modeling skills. His understanding of architectural space and tectonics improved over the course of the year and he was able to achieve an excellent result. He went on to achieve a very high standard of work in his final year.Nicholas has the intellectual maturity to discuss and reflect on his work and that of colleagues within a critical framework and he is interested in a variety of issues that affect the profession of architecture. I believe that Nicholas has the potential to be an excellent architect and to excel within a talented student body in a high quality teaching and learning environment.

Yours truly,

Carol ManckeArchitectSenior LecturerSchool of Architecture and LandscapeKingston University
