Information about right degree for European (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

german

'for european' is the definition.
(German is an example)

'information about right degree' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'degree' becomes 'MA' (Master of Arts is a type of degree).
'r'+'ma'='rma'
'gen' placed around 'rma' is 'GERMAN'.

(Other definitions for german that I've seen before include "European national" , "Helmut?" , "Eg, native to Berlin" , "Alsatian" , "Composer, English? Yes" .)
