Poet requiring a university study (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

auden

'poet' is the definition.
(WH Auden, 1907-1973)

'a university study' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'study' becomes 'den' (den can mean an office or study).
'a'+'u'+'den'='AUDEN'

'requiring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for auden that I've seen before include "W. H. - , UK/US poet" , "W.H. --, English poet" , "US poet born in Britain" , "W. H. -, Eng. poet" , "Wystan Hugh -, poet" .)
