Term:
Typical graduation age
Definition:
The typical graduation age should be the age at the end of the last school/academic year of the corresponding level and programme when the degree is obtained. Note that at some levels of education the term “graduation age” may not translate literally and would be equivalent to a “completion age”; it is used here purely as a convention.
