Example answer
I think these subjects aren’t too specialised. It’s a good idea to study something unusual because you are more likely to be interested and study more. Also they often give you very specific skills that are more useful in the workplace. Furthermore, an unusual degree could make your CV stand out in a competitive marketplace.
In my opinion, these subjects are too specialised and they are a bad thing because your employment options are very narrow when you finish your degree. You can’t transfer your skills easily to another subject area. Also, they are often not very academically rigorous so they don’t show what you are intellectually capable of.
