In AmE, we don't use "reading" in that way. If one is registered in a psychology course, one is taking psychology; if one is pursuing a degree in psychology, one is majoring in psychology.
I've heard "I'm hearing a certain lecture" that compose your total credit in a semester, and such lectures could be composition, English, Psychology, etc. Maybe I'm mistaken.
