Describing key facts and figures for a university

They refer to students, then 'titulats', what's the difference? Is it that 'titulats' already have a degree and are now pursuing a second degree, under- or post-graduate?

I don't need a translation, an explanation would be more useful, TIA:-)

Another option to consider, I'm not sure about "graduate students". Perhaps I'm mistaken, but if I hear "graduate sudents" I think of those working on a postgraduate degree.

graduate students

as opposed to undergraduate in college. Graduate students go to universities to obtain a Master's, Ph.D., etc.
Peer comment(s):

agree Berni Armstrong : I prefer the addition of students as it clears up their role here.

Yes. Titulats already have they're degree. Titulats could be either pursuing a second degree or taking a masters/postgrau.

I remember a similar text I translated that was referring to the number of people graduating in a particular academic year. I suspect it might be this, rather than the people who have degrees and are staying on.

In which case \"new graduates\" might make it clearer.

PS You don\'t need to tell me about the few errors on the page (such as \"3d\" instead of \"3rd\". I\'ve noticed them and will get them corrected ASAP.

Comment: "Tim, rest easy, I wouldn't dream of pointing out anyone errors:-)Especially a website - there's many a slip between a translation and what gets published on a website........!"
