Morphology
The meaning 'an area of academic study' is directly and compositionally built from 'subject' (a topic studied) and 'field' (an area or domain). This noun+noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for denoting areas of study, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Subject field uses subject, meaning a topic, and field, meaning an open area where things grow. Imagine ideas growing in that field; a subject field is like a place where one area of knowledge grows, so it means 'an area of academic study'.
