I’ve been trying to find out what it all means, like there’s Bachelor’s degree, Doctorate, Bachelor of Design and Master of Education. But what do they mean? Is a bachelor’s degree the lowest degree you can get and master’s is the highest or do different courses have different names for their degrees?

Yes, essentially, a bachelor’s is the lowest/first degree you can attain at a university (or in the US, a college).
There are grades within that, but a typical 3 or 4 year bachelor’s is your starting point. They’re sometimes called “undergraduate degrees”.
Once you graduate, you can take graduate degree programs, like a masters, or a doctorate (the highest).
Also, on a side note, there are honourary degrees (which mean nothing) and honours degrees (which mean you did extra course work).
