Miss Iqbal is one of the main reporters and presenters responsible for covering national and international stories for the BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat programme.
Ryan Jones, a journalism student at the university, said: “She’s an inspiration to us journalism students. I am looking forward to her lecture.”
Mr Horsman added: “I cannot wait to see her back here again.”
Miss Iqbal worked in commercial radio in Yorkshire and the Northwest before joining BBC Radio 1 in 2008.
