He was going to university for 5 years, then he got his M.A. and then, say, after 5 years he decided to take postgraduate studies which last one year, but first you have to have an M.A. to be allowed to sign up for such studies, and that's why they are called "postgraduate" because first you have to graduate from university.

I'd suggest this.

He graduated from University (Department of English Language and Literature) and later completed a one-year Postgraduate Studies in Translation program.
