'Two months later' indicates that something happened or will happen two months after an event. 'I finish my exams in June and two months later I start work.' NB. In English the present tense is often used for future events. 'I finished my exams in June and started work two months later.' 'Two months away' indicates that an event is two months in the future. This can be from now, the present time, or from a time in the past. 'My trip to Shanghai is two months away' i e from now 'I finished my studies in June, and my trip to Shanghai was two months away' The focus is on the period shortly after finishing your studies.

"Two months later" and "two months away" are phrases that can be used to indicate the passage of time, but they have slightly different meanings. Two months later: This phrase is typically used when referring to a point in time that occurs two months after a specific event or reference point in the past. For example, if someone says, "I started a new job, and two months later, I received a promotion," it means that the promotion happened two months after the start of the new job. Two months away: This phrase is often used when looking forward to an event or point in time that is two months in the future from the current reference point. For instance, if someone says, "My birthday is two months away," it means that their birthday will occur two months from the current date. In summary, "two months later" is used when talking about events or points in time that follow a specific past reference, while "two months away" is used when referring to a future point in time from the present.
