Band 7.5

Rising university fees and scarce employment prospects for graduates have led some people to say that universities should not teach arts subjects, like philosophy and history, and only offer practical degree courses that maximize chances of employment. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give a reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Although
 there is consensus that practical
subjects
 like management and marketing are in demand, especially in the past few years.It is a contentious issue whether
students
 should read those
subjects
 which help them in getting jobs or they may
also
 focus on other
arts
subjects
. My view coincides with the former proposition for a number of reasons. There are myriad reasons why universities should offer practical degrees rather than
arts
. On the one hand, If Universities provide courses in which
students
 can spend more time on those
subjects
 that are relative to their career fields, they can get st knowledge regarding every aspect of their subject.
On the other hand
, Increasing fee vouchers might slow down so that every student can afford their semester fee when they just pay for those courses which helps to get better jobs. There is no dought that all of these merits will hold
students
 in good stead as far as providing the best job opportunities is concerned. An example of
this
 scenario can be seen in many developed countries like the Uk
students
 choose those
subjects
 which they want to opt for as a career field. Admittedly, it is true that history provides knowledge of our ancestors
whereas
arts
 boost skill ability and one can not dismiss the telling benefit associated with
this
.
However
, these advantages appear to be insignificant against the deluge benefits specific
subjects
 offer, especially getting the best job opportunities. In conclusion, I would not wish to underestimate the advantages of
arts
 and history
subjects
.
Nevertheless
, I feel that
subjects
 specific
subjects
 are instrumental in both terms of enhancing the chance of getting a good job
as well as
 lesser expensive education.
