University students always focus on one specific subject, but some


people think that universities should encourage their students to
study a wide range of subjects in addition to their own subject. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Higher education affords many people an approach to improve skills


and expand knowledge. One topic of discussion is whether it is necessary
to study a number of subjects or one subject only. When deciding the
number of subjects to learn, one should consider both his/her personal
interests and employers’ requirements.
Common sense tells us that one is able to acquire more skills or
knowledge if he/she enrolls for a variety of courses. For example, if an
accounting student is familiar with marketing and human resource
management, he/she is well-informed about how accounting affects these
aspects of a company’s operation and vice versa. Nowadays, it is
increasingly evident that those who possess knowledge in different fields
have a competitive advantage over those who are conversant with one
subject only. It is also worth emphasizing that many university students
are so young that they do not have a clear concept of their career paths.
Therefore, the decision to dabble in different subjects is reasonable, as it
allows students to discover their career interests gradually.
The main advantage of focusing on one area of specialty is that
students can concentrate their efforts on a specific area of interest and
seek to become professionals. This point of view is particularly valuable
in those subjects that require learners’ commitment for many years, such
as medicine, law and engineering. Because of time constraints, students
need to accept a compromise between width and depth of knowledge. If
an employer has a vacancy for an accounting clerk, whether or not job
applicants studied art is not a matter of importance. Needless to say,
students can pursue some subjects as their hobbies, instead of studying
them at university, unless they have extra energy and time to spare.
By discussing these factors, we can come to the conclusion that
students can be encouraged to study different subjects so they can adapt
to a competitive workplace. It is certain that students can decide on the
number of subjects with their career interests and personal needs taken
into account. [337]
