In a sentence

大学生(だいがくせい)university studentです

I'm a university student

How it works

This is a simple A-is-B statement with the A left out. The noun 大学生(だいがくせい) (university student) is followed by polite です (is), which carries the meaning "am/is". The subject — "I" — is never spoken because context already makes clear who is being described.
