Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a University?

There are two different views about the main responsibility of the

university

. On one hand, some people believe the

university

should prepare

students

for work.

On the other hand

, others have an opposite view and believe the

university

must provide intelligence for its welfare regardless of considering

a to an employer. Some people believe the true function of a

university

is providing

students

with the necessary skills and knowledge in the

workplace

.

Students

usually spend most of their

time

in universities for long years and they hope they gain a good career in the field they have studied after graduation. Some

students

strongly believe

university

is going to make them ready in different aspects for the

workplace

or entrance to industry.

In addition

to all courses that

students

pass, there should be some practical and useful for

students

which are needed and urgent for entering the

workplace

.

Otherwise

, it is like wasting

time

for

students

because they only have learned some theoretical knowledge

that is

useless at work, and their chances decrease when they apply for a job. I have graduated in the genetics field about 6 months ago. All

In contrast

, others believe the

university

must provide intelligence for its own sake regardless of considering the usefulness of a lesson to employers. They think giving graduates extra knowledge means that they have to spend extra

at

university

and eventually it may lead to more stress and pressure for

students

. Maybe they cannot finish these new terms because they have already passed a lot of difficult courses.

Thus

they will be disappointed and hopeless about getting a job. I think universities should provide

students

with some useful and necessary skills and pieces of information that are needed at the

workplace

to other lessons based on
