There is no harm in learning any permissible knowledge, whether religious or worldly, after having learned one's individual obligations (fard al-ayn). One will be rewarded for it if the intention is sincerely for Allah. Learning it may even become obligatory if it pertains to a communal obligation (fard al-kifaya).
