Pass on university course in Channel resort (6)
I believe the answer is:
dieppe
'channel resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pass on university course' is the wordplay.
'pass on' becomes 'die' (pass on can mean to die).
'university course' becomes 'ppe' (I've seen this in other clues).
'die'+'ppe'='DIEPPE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for dieppe that I've seen before include "Port of N. France" , "French port opposite Kent" , "N. French port" , "Fr port, resort on Channel" , "French English channel port" .)
