Majority of the people trust that the students in the university should study a full range of subjects, instead of some specific ones. I don’t agree with this as I believe students when they choose their subject of interest(specific ones) in their university, their knowledge in that particular subject becomes more advance. In fact, their interest in specific field will increase more.
Generally students complete their basic level of education in their school and furthermore they complete their high school with a bit of an advanced level in each subject. So I believe, the amount of required knowledge they would have already gained in the particular range of subjects. However, in the university, they should be given opportunity to choose one specific subject which would be their matter of interest. Doing this students not only will expand their knowledge in that specific field but will also gain some real-hand skills and progress with the chosen domain. A study carried out in a German university showed that the number of students choosing a specific subject made more progress in their career compared to the students choosing wide range of subjects.
In terms of choosing career, students choosing broad range of subjects may get confused in the future while the students who choose a specific ones are clear about their future. A research done with the university alumni’s in Japan showed that the students specialized in one subject were more progressive than the students who prefer to choose wide range of subjects.
In conclusion, I disagree with the majority of people’s thought or belief that the university students should study a full range of subjects. Choosing a specific subject makes students advance more in that specific field. In addition, they make more progress in their carrier development. As a matter of fact, students increase their interest more with the subject and gain more knowledge.
