Students polled by Pearson College were broadly optimistic that their chosen courses would prepare them for a world in which the job market could change dramatically during their working lives.

　　But opinion was sharply divided over which degrees were best for future­proof careers.

　　Eighty­two percent of respondents believed engineering would help develop future­proof skills，with 74 percent believing the same of chemistry and 73 percent of computer science.

　　But just 33 percent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a future­proof career，and 40 percent English.

　　However more than two thirds of students (67 percent) thought the world of work would be significantly different or 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 maths subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs.

　　She said that in previous decades students would only take maths 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，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 maths) subjects.”
