No, and they must not disappear. Society needs humanists and scientists who are well prepared to improve human knowledge through their research. There is also real demand for professionals in the management of cultural initiatives and innovation in the labour market. However, it is also clear that the large majority of students prefer other studies in applied or hands-on disciplines, with better professional prospects.
Both situations represent an incentive for universities and regional governments to act in two ways:
- Incorporate career-related content into “pure” science and arts studies that familiarise citizens with the social value of these courses and that promote greater demand from students.
- Formulate ways for universities to guarantee their educational offer even in times of low demand, such as inter-university qualifications, or the modular structure for courses with applied and basic aspects in the different fields of knowledge.
