Challenges of Studying Humanities

Interdisciplinary Complexity:
Humanities subjects often intersect with other disciplines, requiring students to synthesise knowledge from multiple sources and perspectives, which can be intellectually demanding.
Subjectivity in Interpretation:
Unlike some STEM fields with concrete answers, humanities subjects often involve subjective interpretation, which can be challenging for students accustomed to more objective reasoning.
Vastness of Material:
The breadth of topics within humanities can be overwhelming, requiring students to manage large amounts of reading and research while maintaining depth of understanding.
Writing Intensive:
Many humanities courses require extensive writing, which can be daunting for students who struggle with expressing their ideas coherently or articulating arguments effectively.
Lack of Career Path Clarity:
Unlike more vocational fields, humanities studies may not always offer a clear career trajectory, leading to uncertainty about post-graduation opportunities.
