Greek character gets award at university - the first in The City? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mumbai
'the city?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'greek character gets award at university the first' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'character' could be 'mu' (Greek letter) and 'mu' is located in the answer.
'award' could be 'mba' (MBA is an example) and 'mba' is located in the answer.
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mumbai that I've seen before include "place in India" , "Modern name for Bombay" , "Bombay since 1995" , "It used to be called Bombay" , "School bag" .)
