As a university student, you might be interested in participating in
Debian through the Google Summer of Code or Outreachy paid mentorship
programs.

The intro section on our website might be helpful with understanding Debian:

Our page of diagrams, in particular the "Understanding Debian"
infographic, will probably also be useful to you for understanding
Debian.

While you are learning about Debian, if you come across unfamiliar
terms, our Glossary may be helpful to you:

Other folks have already answered your questions, but I'll give
another perspective on them.

There is one main repository that contains most of our packages, split
up into 3 components (main, contrib, non-free) and multiple releases
(experimental, unstable, testing, stable, oldstable). In addition to
our main repository, we split out debug symbols packages into a
separate repository, we have a separate repository for security
updates and we have a separate repository for unofficial ports. All
these repositories are available from the Debian package CDN. The main
repository is also synced to many mirror servers and the unofficial
ports are synced to a couple of mirrors.

In addition to the security/source repositories already linked by
others, we have a database of security information, where you can look
up security issues by CVE number, Debian source package name or Debian
release name.

The Debian package tracker service might also be useful to you:
