Understanding the UK higher education system

In the UK, ‘postgraduate’ refers to the level of higher education that sits above first degrees such as the BA and the BSc. Sometimes, the term ‘postgraduate study’ means the same thing as ‘Masters study’ or ‘graduate study’. This can be confusing for students from some countries. In Bangladesh, for instance, graduate study refers to first degree-level study. For the purpose of this publication, postgraduate means a degree for which the normal entry requirement is a first degree from a UK university or an equivalent degree in your own country, or experience.
