PRINCE Andrew is visiting the University of Southampton today.

The Duke of York will speak to students at the IT, Science and Engineering careers fair and find out how they are looking to turn their degrees into jobs by using links with business.

He will sit in on a chat with student entrepreneurs and look at how he can help innovators’ efforts to become successful.

The prince will also be given a tour of the Mountbatten Building, built after the fire which destroyed its predecessor in 2005 and which now houses the Optoelectronics Research Centre.
