I'm a PhD student at the Faculty of Social Sciences in the University of Copenhagen. She's a professor at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. My son is a lecturer in criminology at the Faculty of Law. I'm a PhD student at the Cape Town University Faculty of Law. I am in the School of Engineering for a PhD. He's a professor in Biological Sciences ...
I (British English native speaker) wouldn't use either of your example sentences; they sound wrong to me. There is a phrase in English "student of xyz" which would be valid, meaning "studying xyz", i.e. I'd use "of" rather than "in" for the subject. But I wouldn't use that for "graduate student", because I parse that as "I am graduate studying ...
10. PhD and Ph.D. are both correct. Canadians tend to omit the periods and those from the U.S. tend to keep them. A reference grammar explains it like this: 2 abbreviations and acronyms. 1 punctuation. We usually write abbreviations without full stops in modern British English.
Now, if you want to refer to someone who already received a bachelors degree and is still in the process of receiving a higher degree, the appropriate term is "graduate student."

The question is not a duplicate, as using master's with degree arguably works differently from using it with student. A master's degree is a degree that belongs to a master, which makes it natural to include an apostrophe.
You will find that PhD Ph.D. BSc B.Sc. MSc and M.Sc. are all found. The question linked to handles this for PhD/Ph.D. but the answer covers the rest. The only thing to add to it is to be consistent, so PhD and BSc or Ph.D. and B.Sc., but not one form together with another in the same piece of writing. –
Agree with @Mick re "study for a degree" rather than "study a degree". The latter doesn't make sense in any English I've ever heard.
Your peers are basically just the people who are at the same level as you in one way or another. It is quite a context sensitive word. At a school, peers might mean fellow students (or teachers, if you're a teacher). In an academic setting, peers might mean people with the same level of qualification as you (eg Masters, PhD etc). You get the idea.
