Answer

Hello Chris,
And Yes exactly, it would be 研究生 in Chinese which means graduate students , postgraduate student or research students.

Answer

A graduate student is STILL a student.  The student has completed a degree (for instance, a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree).  Now, the student is continuing his/her education at a college or university for a "graduate degree" -- a higher degree, such as a Masters degree.

After this second degree, the student may continue as a "doctoral student", which means that the student is continuing his/her education to get a third degree, such as a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy degree).
