undergraduate students

'undergraduate students', or simply 'undergraduates'

Someone who is a 'licenciando' is studying a 'licenciatura', a Bachelor's Degree. Therefore this term corresponds to an undergraduate in ENUK and ENUS.

'In the UK, Europe and the United States an undergraduate student is a student who is working towards a bachelors degree, sometimes known as an undergraduate degree.'

teacher training students

This refers to teacher training students (in Brazilian Portuguese). Context would be needed, though, as in Portuguese from Portugal licenciatura is something completely different.
Remark: (In Brazil) once graduated, a licenciando becomes a licenciado. This can be used by the person as a title. I myself am a 'Licenciado em Matemática pela Universidade de São Paulo.' A student would normally say 'estou fazendo licenciatura em Letras' rather than 'sou licenciando em Letras'.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Paul Dixon : A graduate would be licenciADO. In Brazil a licenciADO would be a graduate in teacher training. In Portugal I believe it applies to any graduate. Maybe someone from the land of Camoëns could shed light on this.
