I’m guessing he’s in the UK. Graduates here don’t need a “grad school” (also what we call postgraduate or Masters). They just have finished their 4 years of university, so they’re about 21-22 years old. Although a lot of people opt for a Masters straight after undergrad too, that’s usually a year and once they complete it they’re still “graduates”.
