Hi
Please tell me if this is OK.
He is focused on academics.
  

Top answer

"academics" are people who follow scholarly pursuits. I don't think that's what you mean. Probably you mean "He is focused on study/research", or something like that.

Your use of "academics" is fine, when meaning college or university courses and studies. "Focus on" is a verb + preposition combination.

It may be that this use is US-only. I think I have never heard it.
