Table 1. Composition of studied programs during the first two semesters based on main subject occurrences for courses in the program. For each main subject, the number of occurrences of each program is specified. Grey cells indicate subjects that were judged to be native for the program, given its degree title. The total number of courses differ from the sum of all main subjects because a course might be classified with up to three main subjects. Rightmost column provides program reference numbers to be used throughout the paper.
