Can I say ' I am majoring in International Trade' ?
Can I say ' I am majoring in International Trade' ?
What I mean is my major is International Trade at my university and I am studying international trade at my university :)
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Cheers!

Yes, it's absolutely fine to say 'I'm majoring in xxx'.
We are using 'major' here as a transitive verb in the present continuous.

I think you can't say I am majoring in subject but I am majored in subject.
because when major + subject, it should be used in passive form :)

DON'T use the passive form. You just need to say' I major in International Trade'. 'Major in' is a phrase. You can refer to Oxford dictionary. And I say ' major in ‘ to my foreign teachers all the time, it's correct.
But ' I am majoring in XXX' is also right. It depends on different occasions. But i never say that.
