Wow congratulations, those are significant in the 21st century curriculum. Students will be encouraged to pursue their dream course.

Yes but the major issue now is will there be available jobs in this fields? Then for example in courses like artificial intelligence, we do not even have a stable supply of electricity in the first place.

This move reflects the NUC’s commitment to improving the quality of higher education and providing more opportunities for students to choose courses that are relevant to the job market and modern technology. It is a good time for universities to prepare to receive students in these new academic areas.
