Confusion for end of school studies

Hello forum!
I have been looking at a few areas in nursing, and have taken an interest in perhaps studying to become an army nursing officer. I'm a little confused at the education requirements, so could someone please explain to me what is meant by an undergraduate/graduate?
Thanks,
Fiona

Undergraduate: your first degree, the one you do straight after high school
Graduate/Postgraduate: can be used to refer to anyone who's completed an undergraduate degree. can also be used to refer to study after an undergrad degree (such as a PhD)

So is a degree just the first lot of courses you do in your first year of uni?

A degree is any qualification (ie. completing a course) you have (eg. Postgraduate degree, doctorate degree, etc)
Multiple degrees are undertaken by many people through the course of their life
2009-10: Methods (39) - Specialist Maths (36) - Further Maths (50) - Biology (36) - Chemistry (37) - English Language (36) - ATAR: 97.40
