Angry about German city university (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorbonne

'university' is the definition.
(a university in Paris)

'angry about german city' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'sore' (similar in meaning).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'german city' becomes 'Bonn' (city in Germany).
'sore' going around 'bonn' is 'SORBONNE'.

(Other definitions for sorbonne that I've seen before include "Parisian university" , "Common name for the University of Paris" , "Non-Boers go over to this French university" , "Famous part of Paris University with literature and science faculties" , "Parisian institution" .)
