What do you say about a person who graduated (or not) from University? Which of the sentences are correct?

1. He’s got a higher degree. / He hasn’t got a higher degree.
2. He’s got a higher education. / He hasn’t got a higher education.


Are these sentences correct?

1. He is getting his degree as a lawyer.
2. He is getting his degree in law.



Is this sentence OK? It means “He knows French the best in the class.”

1. He is the best in the class in French.


What do you call a place where people learn foreign languages?

1. I’m going to an English school.
2. I’m taking courses in English.


Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Philip. Can you answer some other my question?

Can I say "a University degree"?

ex. He has/doesn't have a University degree.



Which sentence is more common?

ex1. He has/doesn't have a University degree.
ex2. He has some / doesn't have any higher education.



Should I use the article “an” before “English school”? (It’s not a school for children in England. It’s where people of different ages learn the English language in their free time.)

ex. I’m going to (an) English school.
