Detailed applause arranged for university city? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uppsala

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'university city?' is the definition.
'uppsala' can be an answer for 'city?' (I have seen 'Swedish city ' mean 'uppsala' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'uppsala'). I'm not certain of the 'university' bit.

'detailed applause arranged' is the wordplay.
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'applause' with its last letter removed is 'applaus'.
'applaus' with letters rearranged gives 'UPPSALA'.

'for' is the link.
