you’re correct,おしえて san.
Res.1 need correction; The last three of your ”Post-graduate” are wrong (also PhD. spell wrong). check ”graduate”in your dictionary. It’s not commonly used in North America.
Ph.D. / Master is Post Graduate, not other three.
Wonder why you’ve given something else that no one asks for.

(1)The last three of your ”Post-graduate” are wrong . check ”graduate”in your dictionary. It’s not commonly used in North America.
→Wrong? Well it does depend on the University and country of course. Some universities consider that ’Honours’ is part of the undergraduate degree while others consider it to be a post-graduate qualification. Secondly, I have listed the dictionary definition of ’graduate’ below. I think you will see that the meaning I mentioned is correct.
1,One who has received an academic degree or diploma. 2,A graduated container, such as a cylinder or beaker. adj. (-t)
3,Possessing an academic degree or diploma.
4,Of, intended for, or relating to studies beyond a bachelor’s degree: graduate courses.
(2)also PhD. spell wrong. →Well yes I have made a mistake in the punctuation for abbreviating ’Doctor of Philosophy’ to Ph.D. - but it is not a spelling error.
(3)Wonder why you’ve given something else that no one asks for. →I think I have given the answer that おしえて-さん asked for on my post - I added some extra information as incidental - do you have a problem with exchanging information that is connected to the subject discussed? I thought this website was about exchanging information on English words and language?
Regarding the word ’Post-Graduate’, the meaning of it is a degree that is undertaken after an undergraduate degree. ’Post’ means after - so the word literally means ’after-graduating’. So any degree that a person does after their first Bachelor Degree is called a post-graduate degree. So that could be Masters, Ph.D., Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate. This may differ a little between countries but is basically similar. As you can see from the different definitions of the word below, different dictionaries and countries have slightly different definitions of the word.
**post·grad·u·ate ** adj. Of, relating to, or pursuing advanced study after graduation from high school or college.
