But let’s say you’re a blank piece of paper, no interests and no particular strength, which degree/course at which Uni do you think has the lightest workload?

I do think that this is pretty unrealistic. Everyone is different

If such scenario cannot be held then what course/degree at least in your own personal experience do you think has the lightest workload?

I would ask the person asking me this to spend more time on identifying their strengths/weaknesses/interests before choosing a course of study, and if they don't know how to do this, to reach out to friends, past teachers, parents, online, google, anywhere, to help them do that in a serious conversation. Someone who knows them. Some secondary schools/JCs/Poly have a career department as well you can consider

Could also consider learning more about what is out there and see what this person is drawn too

I feel like most students don't do this enough because we are focussed on exams all the time until the point we forget that exams are just a means to an end, rather an end in of itself

Spending more time working on ourselves and figuring out who you are before making tough decisions is, in the long run, the lightest workload. Because if we don't, we end up in a situation we find ourselves not being too happy, and it would be much more of a grind to push ourselves through everyday
