STEM – or Surfing Science? What should students study at university?


  • English
  • Arabic

August 09, 2022

Somewhere in the world there is a student coming to the end of secondary education who is worrying in their summer break about what to do once they leave school.

They are not alone. The World Bank estimates that there are about 220 million people in tertiary education, meaning any form of educational institution after secondary school, such as universities, colleges and vocational centres. In 2000, there were 100 million.

This huge jump during the past 20 years corresponds with an increasingly diverse selection of degree choices on offer around the globe. Recently, The National wrote about some of the more unique ones on offer, including hand embroidery and surf science. The unprecedented range can make for a daunting array of options.

This is leading to some students investing not just in courses themselves, but even the applications to get them there. Last Monday, The National spoke to Jai Vardhan, an 18-year-old student in the UAE, who, faced with the daunting task of finding a university in either Canada or the UK, hired a professional consultant to help with the process. They charged him Dh10,000 ($2,700) and he is now set to begin a four-year bachelor's degree in business and management at the University of Warwick in the UK at a cost of Dh90,000 ($24,500) a year.

It has always been a daunting decision and not everyone will have Mr Vardhan’s option. A cost-of-living crisis is engulfing many parts of the world, a global economic downturn is on the horizon and, as the numbers show, there are a great deal more graduates nowadays, meaning more competition for jobs after graduation.

For some, more choice will offer greater freedom, a better chance of true fulfilment and quick access to niche industries and sectors. From degrees in floral design to puppet arts, The National found programmes that could make sense to the those willing and certain enough in their interests to dedicate their careers to one field at such an early age.

Not everyone, indeed very few, will have such clarity. That is why traditional degree choices remain a safe bet, although not entirely. A study in June found that English Literature, one of the most established humanities degrees around, produced one of the poorest average salaries five years after graduation in the UK, alongside other well-respected disciplines such as architecture and fine art.

Unsurprisingly, many of the best-paying choices are in Stem subjects. For humanities, Law is a very safe bet. Newly qualified solicitors at US firms regularly earn in the region of $200,000 a year. Living in increasingly expensive cities is driving many into these fields.

But, while important, there is more to education than a potential salary, and, as the saying goes, if you enjoy your job, you will never work a day in your life. With the right approach, therefore, more choice is a good thing. And while some degrees might offer lower salaries on average, there has never been a time when graduates are freer to plot their own route in the world of work. Entrepreneurs are lauded around the world, remote working is opening new doors and technology offers a never-ending stream of opportunity and development.

There is no right or simple answer. But much like there are people called to be medics, so are there whose vocation is horology, or the science of foresight. There is also the possibility of not going to university at all.

Most importantly, no single decision, however important it might seem, is enough to dictate the direction of a person’s life. Worried students should remember that.

Prop idols

Girls full-contact rugby may be in its infancy in the Middle East, but there are already a number of role models for players to look up to.

Sophie Shams (Dubai Exiles mini, England sevens international)

An Emirati student who is blazing a trail in rugby. She first learnt the game at Dubai Exiles and captained her JESS Primary school team. After going to study geophysics at university in the UK, she scored a sensational try in a cup final at Twickenham. She has played for England sevens, and is now contracted to top Premiership club Saracens.

----

Seren Gough-Walters (Sharjah Wanderers mini, Wales rugby league international)

Few players anywhere will have taken a more circuitous route to playing rugby on Sky Sports. Gough-Walters was born in Al Wasl Hospital in Dubai, raised in Sharjah, did not take up rugby seriously till she was 15, has a master’s in global governance and ethics, and once worked as an immigration officer at the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi. In the summer of 2021 she played for Wales against England in rugby league, in a match that was broadcast live on TV.

----

Erin King (Dubai Hurricanes mini, Ireland sevens international)

Aged five, Australia-born King went to Dubai Hurricanes training at The Sevens with her brothers. She immediately struck up a deep affection for rugby. She returned to the city at the end of last year to play at the Dubai Rugby Sevens in the colours of Ireland in the Women’s World Series tournament on Pitch 1.

Three tips from La Perle's performers

1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.

2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.

3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets

Also on December 7 to 9, the third edition of the Gulf Car Festival (www.gulfcarfestival.com) will take over Dubai Festival City Mall, a new venue for the event. Last year's festival brought together about 900 cars worth more than Dh300 million from across the Emirates and wider Gulf region – and that first figure is set to swell by several hundred this time around, with between 1,000 and 1,200 cars expected. The first day is themed around American muscle; the second centres on supercars, exotics, European cars and classics; and the final day will major in JDM (Japanese domestic market) cars, tuned vehicles and trucks. Individuals and car clubs can register their vehicles, although the festival isn’t all static displays, with stunt drifting, a rev battle, car pulls and a burnout competition.
