Follow graduate in teaching (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogma

'teaching' is the definition.
(dogma is a kind of teaching)

'follow graduate' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (I've seen this before).
'graduate' becomes 'ma' (abbreviation for Master of Arts).
'dog'+'ma'='DOGMA'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dogma that I've seen before include "Body of creed" , "Tenet" , "Set of principles laid down as incontrovertibly true" , "Set of beliefs" , "Blind faith required" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
