Band 6

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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Universities
 are one of the most important institutions. Whether
universities
 should only provide job-related curricula has caused a heated debate. In my view,
universities
 should not only focus on “job”, they should play a larger role. Those
people
 who support
universities
 should only educate
students
 on useful subjects believe that most
students
 aim to gain particular skills and up-to-date knowledge in the university. Because they want to can enter better corporations and achieve more attention from their employer through their techniques so that they can achieve a higher position and earn more money. In
this
 age where technology keeps leaping forward,
graduates
 without
such
 skills will be abandoned by society and it will even be hard to find a job. Other
people
 claim it has benefits if
students
 have the freedom to select their lessons. They may study some subjects they deeply favour
such
 as maths and philosophy, what they want is to obtain pure knowledge. They will be motivated to think independently and get more inspiration. In my opinion, all
universities
 should give priority to job-related lessons and ask
students
 to study them compulsorily. If not, the
graduates
 are likely to find decent jobs and the unemployment rate will rise. But, the more critical responsibility of
universities
 is to engage
graduates
 to equip them with the ability of thinking and analysis. Almost all employers prefer that
graduates
 can think outside the box. The
universities
 must set some lessons for what
students
 can study as their interests because
people
 are willing to research and analyse what they favour and are more likely to be more creative. In my opinion, both teaching methods are complementary to each other. They should be combined tightly to culture more creative
people
 not only robots.
