Explanation
จบ means “to end or finish,” and การศึกษา means “education” or “studies.” Together, จบการศึกษา means to formally finish one’s studies, especially by graduating from a school, university, or degree program. Common patterns include จบการศึกษาจาก + school name, meaning “graduate from,” and จบการศึกษาระดับ + education level, meaning “complete the level of study.”
Usage
It is commonly used when talking about educational background, resumes, interviews, profiles, school announcements, news reports, and graduation-related contexts.
Caution
Do not use it for finishing work, a meeting, a movie, or other non-educational things. Use words like จบ or เสร็จ instead. It is also not normally used for figurative “graduate from” expressions unrelated to education.
