In my point of view, there is no difference between diploma and associate's degree, since they,both last in two years. thanks Asad Abulle
In terms of college, a diploma does not meet the credit requirement of a degree. Still, the diploma may be a specialty and focused on career oriented course work. For example, a diploma in Practical Nursing. Postgraduate programs of study are those areas that are taken after graduate course work (masters or doctorate) and also are typically focused on a specialty within a profession, however at an advance level.
And undergraduate is someone who has a high school diploma and is enrolled in college but does not have a bachelor's degree yet. An associate's degree (AA = associate of art) corresponds generally to the first two year of a four-year bachelor program.
Post graduate diploma only can get after a undergraduate degree, while you can do diploma after your high school.

A higher diploma is typically a postgraduate qualification that follows a bachelor's degree and is a step higher in academic level, whereas a Higher National Diploma (HND) is a vocational qualification offered in the UK and focuses on practical skills and knowledge for a specific job or industry. HNDs are often considered equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor's degree.
An Associate in Liberal Arts diploma will have the name of the educational institution at the top. It will include the name of the graduate receiving the diploma. It will also contain the signature of the trustee or dean of the school.
