Claire Young, entrepreneur and finalist of The Apprentice 2008, will give a speech passing on her tips to students on how to climb the ladder or start a business. The degree course gives students the chance to learn on the job.

“What I really like is the combination of the practical and academic,” said Mr Paphitis.

“This is a great opportunity for people who want to be entrepreneurial to do a degree that actually relates to what they want to do.”
