Courses will typically be the term for what you previously called a subject in upper secondary education. On some programmes, we also call them subjects, modules, or seminars. The terms will sometimes overlap, so be aware of the language used on your programme. For example, you will find the term "course" in the course catalogue, which is an overview of all the "subjects" offered at AU.
