Finished postgrad degree with new supervisor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overman

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

'supervisor' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'finished postgrad degree with new' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'postgrad degree' becomes 'ma' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'over'+'ma'+'n'='OVERMAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overman that I've seen before include "Provide too many staff for" , "Provide with too many crew" , "crew too much" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
