Hallo! What's the difference between degree course and higher degree course?
Is it like italian "laurea di primo e secondo livello"?
Thank you!

In AE a "degree course" is most likely the "laurea" that we would call "college degree" "bachelors" - usually the "four year" degree.

Often "higher degree" means "Masters" and "Ph.D."
