How to count rows of a column by depending on same values of another column?

I have five columns in a table called tbl_enrolments(id, student_id, semester_id, unit_id, date). Here I just need to count the number of same unit_id according to same semester_id from this table. This is how I've tried so far..

SELECT e.unit_id, COUNT(e.unit_id) as count, 
       u.unit_title, 
       u.unit_name, 
       s.sem_name 
FROM tbl_enrolments e
INNER JOIN tbl_unit_of_study u
    ON e.unit_id = u.id
INNER JOIN tbl_semesters s
    ON e.semester_id = s.id
GROUP BY e.unit_id

Here this query is counting all same unit_id from all different semester_id. But I need to count all same unit_id with only same semester_id. How can I do that?

My table is like this:

Table - tbl_enrolments
