"More than ever before, students are asking us how they can 'future-proof' their educational route.
They're keen to minimize the risk of their future degree being gazumped by a job market transformed by AI," Alison Bissell, director of Dukes Plus Consultancy, says in a statement, per the Guardian.
A new Dukes Plus survey of 1,000 students in the UK found that computer science, biology, and math are the most popular subjects in school, with more than four in 10 students reporting they enjoy these subjects, per the Telegraph.
The second most popular subject was humanities, but creative subjects like art, music, and drama were just selected by a quarter of students.
"The demand for computer science courses, particularly at the undergraduate level, is entirely out of sync with availability, whereas the humanities stock is low," Bissell says, noting that these subjects can provide students with "various soft skills that are likely to become coveted as jobs require the human qualities that AI can not provide."
