Postgraduate education

Postgraduate education is like going back to school after you finish the first set of school lessons (called "undergraduate education"). Just like you learn different things in different grades, postgraduate education is for learning even more advanced and specialized things beyond what you learned in undergraduate school.

For example, after finishing high school, you might go to college to learn more about math, science, history, and English. Then, after finishing college, you might go to graduate school (a type of postgraduate education) to learn even more about one specific subject, like psychology or business.

In postgraduate education, you often have to do a lot of research, write papers, and think critically about the subject you're studying. It can take a few years to finish postgraduate education, but it can also help you become an expert in your field and get a job that you really want.
