  • undergraduate is your first degree (BA, BSc etc) and postgraduate is anything after that (MA, PGCE etc) - so if you've never been to uni before you'll be an undergraduate. hope that helps!

    An undergraduate course is generally a degree such as a BA or BSc, or at an FE college an HNC or HND etc. A postgraduate course requires a degree.
