education is included within higher education, and many postgraduate
qualifications are strongly vocationally or professionally oriented, for
example in disciplines such as law and medicine.
Degrees and graduation
There is a three-level hierarchy of degrees (Bachelor, Master , Doctor )
currently used in the United Kingdom.
A graduate student (also, grad student
or grad in American English ,
postgraduate student or postgrad in British English) is an individual who has
completed a bachelor's degree (B.A., B.S./B.Sc., or another flavor) and is
pursuing further higher education , with the goal of achieving a master's
degree (M.A., M.S./M.Sc., M.Ed., etc.) or doctorate (Ph.D., Ed.D., D.A.,
D.Sc., D.M.A., Th.D., etc.) In the United States, graduate education can also
refer to those pursuing a post-master's Educational Specialist degree or post-
master's Certificate of Advanced Study. The term usually does not refer to
one in medical school and only occasionally refers to someone in law school
or business school.
Admission
Admission to do a research degree in the UK typically requires the
sponsorship of a professor. Admission to do a master's degree (based on
coursework) depends upon
having an undergraduate degree, generally in a
related subject.
