Prof. Nick Petford

Vice Chancellor, The University of Northampton

"The University of Northampton is delighted to be supporting the Amity International Business Horizon Era World Summit 2016.

The University recognises the significant importance of entrepreneurship, employment and economic development to the ongoing success of our students and to the institution as a whole. 96% of our graduates are employed, either as an entrepreneur in their own right or with a private or public organisation, or in further study six months after they complete their course. This accolade is an outcome of the significant investment of our university to the student experience to create an environment where our staff can nurture our students’ entrepreneurship and employability skills and allow them to achieve their full potential.

But that is not all. We are building a brand-new university campus in the heart of our community. This scheme, backed by the UK Government in the form of a loan guarantee, is regenerating a large and poorly used area of Northampton’s town centre. The scheme will not only provide a state-of-the-art university campus fit for a 21st century university, but also provide an environment where our students can exceed their potential and go on to become global citizens in an increasingly international higher education sector.

As an institution going from strength to strength, the University is proud to have entered into a strategic partnership with Amity and look forward to collaborating with them at this conference and in many other endeavours to come in the future."
