undergraduate students
Explanation:
'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


Explanation:
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'.

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.
