Grad student's work (6)
I believe the answer is:
thesis
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">grad student's work</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for thesis that I've seen before include "Long research essay or treatise written for university degree" , "Subject" , "Scholarly dissertation" , "Academic dissertation" , "A lengthy essay, perhaps for degree" .)
