postgraduate work
Beyond the bachelor's
Postgraduate work is study or research undertaken after completing an undergraduate degree.
It includes master's programs, doctoral degrees, and professional certifications: She's doing postgraduate work in biochemistry.
The term emphasizes ongoing academic pursuit rather than a specific credential.
More common in British English; Americans often say graduate work or grad school.
