I'm writing my CV and do not know how to correctly say that: *

After I graduated from X (//X is a high school), I applied to a university to study chemistry and also computer systems.

*

I'm not sure about the prepositions and also this should be clear that I studied 2 courses (also got 2 degrees). Thank you

As far as prepositions go,

I apply/applied/am applying to a university to study [subjects].

Alternatively, I completed degrees in [subjects].

Or even, I am interested in studying no prepositions [subjects].

Also, as an American reading a CV, when I hear "course" I think of a single class. One term's worth of study.

I would refer to what you're talking about as either a "course of study", or simply a "degree program".

I consider you should be more expansive. "After I graduated from X (//X is a high school), I applied to a university to study chemistry and also computer systems."

Instead, you can use:

"After I graduated from X, I applied to Y College. Chemistry and Computer Systems were my two first options.... " then you can be more expansive and further detail your college experience. Courses finally taken and what degrees you accomplished.

Cheers, Farid.

You may use a sentence as follows.

I applied for admission to a University to study chemistry as well as computer systems, after graduating from X (//X is a high school).

In the sentence, as well as instead of and could express both subjects (chemistry and computer systems) are equally important to you. Using a adverbial clause with adverb particle makes the sentence concise.
