Uh. Norwegian chiming in. That translation is really bad. I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round. For graduate I would translate it to fullført (completed).

Also datafag may be used some places i suspect, but I haven't seen it used in higher education. Maybe it was used earlier. But now the terms datateknikk or informatikk are the most common. I have a degree named dataingeniør myself.

Turns out, neither would Google translate

The grammar is bad as well. The of is superimposed in the translation. It should have been slutten/enden av datafag to be correct Norwegian. But by then the joke is fully gone.
