One generally hears these words on the university or college level. Like the definition Chilli showed us, undergraduate refers to a student who is pursuing, but has not yet received his/her bachelor's degree.

Postgraduate usually refers to those students in graduate school pursuing their master's or PhD.

In the US, "postgraduate" is usually just referred to as "graduate."
