<p>From what I can gather, the University of Liverpool conducted a poll among students in the UK asking them to rank school subjects in terms of prestige. Here are the results:</p>
<p><a href=“Academic Quality and Standards Division Teaching Quality Support Division- Academic Quality and Standards Division - University of Liverpool”>Academic Quality and Standards Division Teaching Quality Support Division- Academic Quality and Standards Division - University of Liverpool;
<p>If you’re too lazy to click it, they were:</p>
<p>1) Medicine and Dentistry</p>
<p>2) Subjects Allied to Medicine</p>
<p>3) Biological Sciences</p>
<p>4) Veterinary Sciences</p>
<p>5) Agriculture and Related Subjects</p>
<p>6) Physical Sciences</p>
<p>7) Mathematical Sciences</p>
<p>8) Computer Science</p>
<p>9) Engineering and Technology</p>
<p>10) Architecture, Building, and Planning</p>
<p>11) Social Studies</p>
<p>12) Law</p>
<p>13) Business and Administrative Studies</p>
<p>14) Mass Communications and Documentation</p>
<p>15) Languages</p>
<p>16) Historical and Philosophical Studies</p>
<p>17) Creative Arts and Design</p>
<p>18) Education</p>
<p>I don’t agree with this list. I think math, physical science, engineering, and computer science should be up at the top, followed by medicine, veterinary and biological sciences, and business should be much lower. Law could go up a few notches as well. But I’m heavily biased towards math and science, because quite frankly, only the highly intelligent can contribute to those fields, while the other subjects are more or less open to whomever wishes to participate. This is just my opinion, and take it as such.</p>
<p>What’s your opinion?</p>
