Letter: It is indeed outrageous, minister (7)

I was sorry to hear that Margaret Hodge had a bad experience at the LSE and wrote only one essay in three years.

She might have preferred to come on the BA urban planning here. Over three years our students typically do 16 exams, 14 essays, 14 workshop exercises, three group projects and a piece of advanced individual work. They go on British and foreign study visits, have fun and get good jobs.
