People certainly do say "I studied X at" but it's a little ambiguous in that case whether you mean undergrad or graduate school (for subjects that can be studied in both), and whether you completed your degree or not. | |

Is it common for a graduate student to say "I study/studied marketing, psychology etc." like in Britain (and presumably other European countries) or are other expressions used to inform others about someone's education? | |

US students do go on to specialize in graduate or professional school, and you can't really major in law or medicine as an undergraduate, so you will see more examples of studied law at or studied medicine at and similar subjects with specialized schooling than examples with common undergrad majors (like English or psychology). And 2. US students would study math or maybe mathematics, but not maths ;-). | |
