pupil, student, graduate, undergraduate, postgraduate Hugh: Pupils go to school. Pupils learn at school. When they’re four they go to infant school, when they are 7 – they start junior school. After they’ve finished junior school, they go to secondary school. They take O-levels at the age of 16. They can leave secondary school at the age of 16. But most pupils stay at school. They study for their A-levels. At the age of 18 they take their A-levels and leave school for good. Hugh: School leavers either go into higher education or go to work. Those who decide to go into higher education apply for a place at university or college. They become students. Sometimes they decide to wait a year before they go to university or college. They take a gap year and go travelling all over the world. Those who decide to go into employment become employees. They go to work and earn money. Hugh: So, do you remember what you did when you were a student? You left home, probably. You got drunk, you had fun, and you skipped lectures. In your free time you probably also studied. While you were studying for your first degree – you were an undergraduate. When you finished studying for your first degree – you graduated. You became a graduate. You got your first degree. If you decided to continue your studies – do research for a PhD or go on a postgraduate course for example – you became a postgraduate.
