New free insurance degree

A new degree developed by The University of Chichester and Peter Symonds College in Winchester has produced a BA (Hons) in Insurance. The academics worked with Be Wiser Insurance to create the UK's first degree of its type.

The course comes with a salary of around £20,000 a year and also covers tuition fees. Students are then offered a management-level job on graduation.

Ruth Sparkes, managing editor of Future, a new magazine which offers teenagers information and advice on careers, lifestyle, education and health, said: "As estimates of the scale of the debt students will leave university with become increasingly alarming, this type of course where students earn from the start and are guaranteed a job at the end, is looking extremely attractive. Basically, it's a degree for free!"
