What is a degree subject?

A degree subject is the specific area of academic study a student chooses to focus on while pursuing a degree (e.g., Bachelor's, Master's, PhD). It's the main field of knowledge the degree program covers. Examples include:

* Engineering (with sub-specializations like Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, etc.)

* Computer Science

* Medicine

* History

* Psychology

* Business Administration

* Law

* Physics

* Biology

* Literature

Essentially, it's the broad category that defines the core curriculum and the skills and knowledge a student will gain upon graduation. A degree subject often consists of multiple related courses and may offer further specializations within the subject itself.
