👉 A graduate is someone who has completed a higher education program, such as a degree in a specific field or a post-graduate course. This typically includes earning a university degree, which typically involves completing coursework and taking exams to demonstrate knowledge and skills. Degraduation refers to the act of leaving a particular institution or organization after having successfully completed its requirements for graduation.
