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.

One question that has caused a great deal of controversy over the years is which

subjects

students

Use synonyms

study at University. I believe that

students

Use synonyms

should have the choice to study whatever they like.

However

Linking Words

, we have to overcome the problem of enough graduates in important

subjects

Use synonyms

. In

this

Linking Words

essay, the arguments surrounding

this

Linking Words

issue will be discussed. Many people argue that

students

should choose their own

subjects

at university. The principal reason for

this

Linking Words

is because

students

will probably be more motivated so they will be more likely to work harder and for longer and

therefore

Linking Words

achieve more, be more successful and probably more satisfied. A good

example

Use synonyms

is a student who has a passion for art or science. They will be more likely to do extra work to improve their knowledge or develop their skills to a higher level. Another reason is that if

students

Use synonyms

follow their passion it can often lead to more creativity. An

example

Use synonyms

here is Steve Jobs, who followed his passions to become one of the most creative and successful entrepreneurs of modern times. Other people suggest that

students

Use synonyms

should not be allowed to choose. They argue that if society allowed

students

to do

this

,

then

Linking Words

we might be left with a lack of graduates in some ‘core’

subjects

Use synonyms

essential for the future. An

example

Use synonyms

here is important

subjects

such

as science or technology, which might not be popular without encouragement.

This

could result in a less skilled labour force with a negative impact on the economy.

However

Linking Words

, I would suggest that

this

Linking Words

is not a serious problem as we could deal with

this

Linking Words

issue by making core

subjects

Use synonyms

more attractive.

This

Linking Words

could be done through financial policies,

for

Linking Words

example

Use synonyms

, reduced fees, offering bursaries or guaranteeing jobs for studying the target

subjects

Use synonyms

. In conclusion, there are clear advantages of allowing

students

Use synonyms

to choose their own

subjects

Use synonyms

both for individuals as well as wider benefits.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, we must ensure there are enough

students

who select important

subjects

.

This

could be achieved using financial incentives or job guarantees. Regardless, we must always make sure our Universities are flexible enough to meet the challenges that society will face in the future.
