Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

University

students are going to lead different important sectors in few years and

hence

their education is one of the most important aspects of a country. It is often debated how much

freedom

they should be given while choosing the subjects and I personally believe that they should have the

freedom

to pick subjects within a prescribed syllabus, not whatever they like.

To begin

with, the

freedom

of selecting subjects at

university

level would make the education more effective and would not force students study subjects that they have no interest at all. Though technology related subjects are quite important, students would not learn that much if he is forced to learn programming while his interest is in literature.

Thus

a student should be given the

freedom

to pick the subjects he likes, especially for the

university

students.

For instance

, many arts faculties in western universities offer students to pick technology related subjects while the reverse is

also

true.

However

, an absolute

freedom

to pick subjects for the

university

students is not a good idea as well.

This

will often lead to situations when students will not have sufficient knowledge on any aspects that are crucial for the career. Some students would misuse

this

facility and pick the same subjects in different semesters. It will

also

lead to a haphazard situation as most of the students would like to study the same subjects and the

university

authority would not be able to offer these courses to all. To conclude, a certain

freedom

while picking subjects at

university

level is very helpful to the overall development and knowledge enhancement of students.

However

, an absolute

freedom

would make the outcome worse.
