Morphology
The meaning 'a student enrolled in postgraduate (master's or doctoral) studies' is directly derivable from combining 'graduate' (pertaining to postgraduate study) with 'student' (someone studying). This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and context makes the intended postgraduate sense clear, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it.
Etymology
Graduate student comes from the words graduate and student: graduate means someone who has 'finished a degree' and student is a person who studies. So, a graduate student is a person who has finished a bachelor's degree and is now studying for a master's or doctorate.
