  yep, or “field of study”, so if you study in Norway, students who study the same might arrange a “fagfest” together, and a skilled worker is often known as a “fagarbeider”

  Sound like there’s some etymological relation between the words (but a cursory search didn’t immediately give me an answer, boo).
