Emphasising financial value of degrees 'threatens arts and humanities'
lost during training benefits translate directly into wage
The increasing importance being placed on the financial value of a degree of threat the future of the arts and humanities, according to the Rector of the University of Cambridge.
the "pure disciplines" are in danger of losing more vocational courses that lead directly into the salary benefits, Sir Leszek Borysiewicz said.
In an interview with the Guardian, the chancellor said. "I have a concern about long-term health of disciplines this does not occur at the undergraduate level, but what is happening at a level graduates. If monetize the value of a security, you have to an MA in medieval French poetry
"It may take a law course covers [knowledge of] slander or any other -. Because in reality there is no direct value of higher education will result in your career
"But some of the purest sports that are both enriching - Are they still as attractive to students,"
Borysiewicz said he was concerned that the country risked losing "a group of potential researchers" in the arts.
The rector, who is a discourse on the arts in the University Festival of Ideas, on Thursday, also called for closer collaboration between the arts and sciences.
"The example you set [of] the world, I worked primarily in cancer prevention. In a free society and a society that has choices is not enough to have the technological solution, you need to know about the acceptability of the solution. We need to know that people make an informed decision.
"You can not force people in these areas. So we need to know and understand why [when] everyone knows its bad for you, but people continue to smoke. We need to understand I know of no research that was conducted in pure science and technology departments to help them understand that -.. that requires interaction with the arts and humanities "
- The rector, who studied medicine and is a former head of the Medical Research Council, said that the arts offer a unique way of relating to problems. "We talked about the method of science. In fact there is no method to learn a language is very particular, and taking on that generic skills is enormous. The way Historians consider the evidence or preponderance of evidence, or an archaeologist to examine the evidence, it is very special. For large university should have all of these areas if we are to meet certain global challenges. "
The President said there was no evidence that the arts and humanities would be "disproportionate" by cutting direct teaching award from the government.
proposed reforms of the coalition
