Jam is correct on all counts - however, an associates degree is also an undergraduate degree, and is likely what is being referred to as undergraduate.
Typically, an associates or undergraduate degree is a two-year college program. A bachelors degree (also known as a bachelaureate degree) is usually a four-year program, but there are some five year programs, such as education degrees requiring four years of studies and one additional year or practicum or student teaching. A graduate diploma or masters program is one or more years of higher level studies. This would include juris doctor degrees (law), a med school program up to and including residency, seminary (religious), or other specialty schools providing a graduate degree that has a bachelors degree pre-requisite.
I hope that helps.

you get a postgraduate diploma when you finish your PhD.
you get a graduate diploma when you finish your Master's Degree.
a bachelor's degree is what you get when you finish an acedemic course after your secondary. it's the same with undergraduate degree.
