Psychology. Most people pick it because they don't know what else to do and then they never use their degree because the field is too competitive and the job sector is saturated, oversubscribed and stressful.
Biomed, psychology and law! All are useful degrees except for the fact everyone assumes that because we need research into mental illness or disease such as Alzheimer's there's gonna be jobs straight after graduation. These degrees are honestly oversaturated and overrated tbh
All humanities and arts degrees, just hobbies, zero applicability. Most of STEM wont help you much either, especially if you end up with something like 2:2 BSc Neuroscience from a B list school.
Those are just applied maths degrees re-branded. Kind of like now all low level expoly Network Engineering degrees are now called Cyber Security
at warwick - data science is basically computer science + statistics with a little bit of maths. There aren't actually any dedicated "data science" modules until the 3rd year lol. Always thought data science was mainly a postgrad thing.
But they are doing so because of the demand and the growth of the field, no?
Data Science degrees are a ploy to just take cash to be honest. It's something that's easily self-taught even as a hobby. Would be so much smarter to do a Comp Sci degree (programming) or Statistics, or even Economics.
As a result of this, Data Science graduates end up having an extremely shallow understanding of the field and certainly wouldn't be able to rise to the ranks of a Machine Learning Engineer (for example).
Business studies. For people who want to go to University "for the experience" or to party, or they didn't know what they wanted to do for their degree.

Have to say - most business students I've come across do fall in this category lol

Because there isn't that much in Data Science on it's own. If you look at the workflow, they are statisticians, It should be a postgrad only thing.

It really should be a post grad thing. Feel sorry for anyone who gets duped into doing a Data Science undergrad.
