Graduális

Graduális is a Hungarian term referring to a student pursuing a postgraduate degree. This typically includes master's and doctoral programs. In the Hungarian higher education system, the term distinguishes students who have completed their undergraduate studies (alapdiploma) and are now engaged in advanced academic or professional training. Graduális students are enrolled in universities or colleges and are working towards a higher qualification, which can be a master's degree (mesterképzés) or a doctorate (doktori képzés). The focus of a graduális program is on specialized knowledge, research, and in-depth study within a chosen field. Successful completion of a graduális program signifies a higher level of academic achievement and expertise. The term is specific to the Hungarian academic context and is not commonly used in English-speaking countries, where "postgraduate student" or terms like "master's student" or "doctoral candidate" are used instead.
