Which English term matches the German word 'Studienfach'?

• A. Betriebswirtschaftslehre
• B. Wirtschaftskommunikation
• C. academic year
• D. module/ course/ subject/ class

Answer: (D)

Studienfach refers to the field or subject of study within a degree program—the specific subject you study as part of your program. In English, the closest general equivalents describe the unit or area of study, such as a course, module, or subject. So a match that includes those terms best captures the meaning. It’s not about a time period like an academic year, and it isn’t naming a specific subject name itself. For example, if your Studienfach is economics, you’d say your subject or course in economics in English.
