Morphology
The meaning 'a person enrolled at a university' is directly and compositionally derived from 'university' (a place that grants degrees) + 'student' (someone engaged in learning). This straightforward noun–noun combination follows common compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
University student is a compound name for a person who studies at a university. The word university shows the place of learning and student means someone who studies, so together it means a person studying 'to get a degree'.
