courses/fields of studies or study?
Hi! everyone!
Could you guide me as to whether I should use plural(studies) or singular noun(study) after the plurals "courses" and "fields"?
I mean Is there any rule for it like the one we have for 'types of followed by uncountable nouns" such as 'types of coffee'? and following this rule, can we say 'courses/fields of study' as 'study' is an uncountable noun?
Thanks!

You can say "a field of flowers" or "a field of dreams" or "a field of golden wheat," but not a "field of studies."
