'der Grad' and 'der Hochschulabschluss' can both have to do with completing a course of study. 'Grad' means the academic title you receive, for example a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate. 'Hochschulabschluss' puts more emphasis on the fact that you have successfully completed a course of study at a college or university. Learners may confuse the words because a 'Hochschulabschluss' often leads to an academic 'Grad'. In job applications, 'Hochschulabschluss' often sounds more general and natural; when the exact title is important, 'Grad' fits better.
