Morphology
The meaning 'the standard of knowledge or skill expected at a college' is directly and compositionally derived from 'college' (institution of higher education) plus 'level' (stage or standard). This straightforward noun+ noun/modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
College level comes from a simple image: a higher level, like a higher floor, where college students study harder subjects. So, something 'at college level' means it has the 'higher standard' or 'difficulty' expected at college.
