نفخر في يوكويت بمشاركة التغطية الصحفية التي نشرتها جريدة الراي بتاريخ 17 يونيو 2026، والتي استضافت الأستاذ راشد الهاجري للحديث عن أبرز توجهات الطلبة الكويتيين في الابتعاث الخارجي، والتخصصات الجامعية الأكثر طلباً، والعوامل التي تؤثر على قرارات اختيار التخصص والجامعة.
جاءت هذه المشاركة في إطار نقاش أوسع حول التحولات التي يشهدها قطاع التعليم العالي، وتزايد اهتمام الطلبة بالتخصصات المرتبطة باحتياجات سوق العمل ومستقبل الوظائف في الكويت والعالم.
التخصصات الأكثر طلباً بين الطلبة
خلال اللقاء، أشار راشد الهاجري إلى أن أربعة تخصصات رئيسية تصدرت اهتمامات الطلبة خلال السنوات الأخيرة، وهي:
- الطب
- طب الأسنان
- الصيدلة
- الأمن السيبراني
وأوضح أن الإقبال على تخصص الأمن السيبراني شهد نمواً ملحوظاً خلال السنوات الماضية، مدفوعاً بالاهتمام المتزايد بالتكنولوجيا والتحول الرقمي والذكاء الاصطناعي.
كما لفت إلى وجود اهتمام متنامٍ بتخصصات صحية أخرى مثل العلاج الطبيعي، وعلم الأدوية، والتغذية، في ظل ارتفاع الوعي بأهميتها وفرصها المهنية المستقبلية.
اختيار التخصص المناسب أهم من اختيار التخصص الأشهر
One of the key themes discussed during the interview was the increasing interest in technology-driven disciplines.
Cybersecurity has experienced remarkable growth in popularity over recent years, reflecting both global workforce demand and student interest in technology-related careers. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics continue to emerge as critical fields shaping the future of industries worldwide.
As governments, businesses, and institutions invest heavily in digital transformation, students are increasingly seeking academic programs that provide long-term career stability and international opportunities.
Choosing the Right Major Matters More Than Ever
A central message highlighted during the discussion was the importance of selecting a university major that matches a student’s academic abilities, interests, and long-term goals.
Many students focus primarily on the prestige of a university or the popularity of a specific field. However, academic success often depends on choosing a path that aligns with personal strengths and genuine motivation.
Selecting a program that exceeds a student’s academic readiness or does not match their interests can lead to unnecessary challenges, academic difficulties, and delayed career progression.
Study Abroad Decisions Are Becoming More Strategic
Today’s students are more informed than ever before. Families are increasingly considering future employability, industry growth, and labor market trends when evaluating study abroad options.
This shift has contributed to rising interest in sectors such as:
- الأمن السيبراني
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Analytics
- Healthcare and Allied Health Sciences
- Digital Innovation
At the same time, students continue to seek guidance on identifying universities that provide strong academic outcomes while supporting their long-term career ambitions.
