<!-- (Audio) Sophie: Hey! Yeah, I joined the team a few months ago. I didn't study computer science at university, but I majored in electrical engineering. It wasn't exactly tech-related, but I learned a lot about problem solving and critical thinking. -->

--description--

When you study at a university, you choose a main subject. This is called majoring. For example, if someone says, I majored in biology, it means their main area of study was biology.

The word major is a regular verb. In the past tense, you can often add -ed to the end of regular verbs. So, major becomes majored to talk about the past.
