Oh, well, yes, a special case of metric completion (the reals) was
mentioned in passing, I think. And a more general notion (something like
the completion of a topological group, I think?) featured in my Algebra
1 course, which was an elective. But "metric completion" as such I have
not heard before.

Lipschitz continuity is certainly undergraduate material. That probably
appears in any introductory Analysis lecture, even those for computer
scientists.

Metric completion features prominently, e.g., in the construction of
the reals. Lipschitz continuity (along with the Picard–Lindelöf
theorem) should be part of any course on differential equations.

I can't recall whether I've been taught about Hausdorff distance or
even isometries during my undergraduate years. Of course, these are
fairly simple concepts.
