Another word for "class"
I'm describing a photo of a bunch of graduates, who are the tenth batch of graduates of a certain school. I know the expression "graduate of class [year]," but in this case there is no year, so I'm stuck with the description of a certain "batch" such as the 10th batch who are the 10th bunch of graduates since the school's establishment. Is there a better, natural way to express this?

Thx in advance

Answer

Like the other person said, class is probably fine. Another word you could use would be "cohort." A lot of graduate school programs refer to a group of people who entered the program in the same year as a cohort :)

Answer

If they are the 10th batch of graduate since the beginning of the program but do not want to mention the year then you could say "the 10th graduating class of X program of University/School of XYZ" or "the 10th graduating students of University/School X program."

V/r,

Answer

I would still say "class" even if there is no year! Batch is fine too, though.
