Recommend Bullock for head of Department at posh uni (6)
I believe the answer is:
oxford
'posh uni' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'recommend bullock for head of department' is the wordplay.
'recommend bullock' becomes 'ox' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'head of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'department' is 'd'.
'ox'+'for'+'d'='OXFORD'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oxford that I've seen before include "Famous 16" , "- Blue; - bags" , "Ancient university town" , "English city" , "Boat Race's Dark Blues" .)
