postgraduate education
Beyond bachelor's learning
Postgraduate education is study undertaken after completing an undergraduate degree, typically toward a master's or doctoral qualification.
The term is more common in British English; Americans usually say graduate school or grad school.
Postgraduate programs emphasize specialized knowledge, research skills, or professional training: She's pursuing postgraduate education in clinical psychology.
