But just 33 per cent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a futureproof career,and 40 per cent English.
However more than two thirds of students(67 per cent) thought the world of work would be significantly different of completely unrecognizable in 20 years.
The findings,published today,come after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan sparked controversy with claims that teenagers should steer clear of the arts and humanities and opt for science or math subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs.
She said that in previous decades students would only take math or science if they wanted to pursue a specific career such as medicine or pharmacy,but nowadays that “couldn’t be further from the truth”.
“If you wanted to do something different,or even if you didn’t know what you wanted to do...then the arts and humanities were what you chose,because they were useful—we were told—for all kinds of jobs.Of course now we know that couldn’t be further from the truth,and that the subjects that keep young people’s options open and unlock doors to all sorts of careers are the STEM(science,technology,engineering and math) subjects.”
She also described math as “the subject that employers value most” and said that pupils who study Alevel math will earn 10 per cent more over their lifetime.
“These figures show us that too many young people aged 15 are making choices which will hold them back for the rest of their lives,” she said.
