Can I say a postgraduate student "graduates" from the University?
When an undergraduate student finishes his/her study, we usually say "he/she graduates from the University". I wonder if I can apply "graduate" to postgraduate students? Because it sounds quite weird.

Question

Answer

Yes, it is quite correct. You can graduate several times. Graduating is the process of being awarded the degree. Whether it's a postgraduate degree, or a different degree, you still graduate each time.
It's not so natural to say 'the University' though. Usually it is just 'University', unless you have already specified previously which University it is.
