Reveals our country's introducing new degrees (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unmasks

'reveals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'our country's introducing new degrees' is the wordplay.
'our country's' becomes 'UK's' (United Kingdom).
'introducing' indicates putting letters inside (some letters introduced or inserted into others).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'degrees' becomes 'MAs' (MA is an example).
'n'+'mas'='nmas'
'uks' going around 'nmas' is 'UNMASKS'.

(Other definitions for unmasks that I've seen before include "Removes domino" , "Reveals the true nature of" , "Exposes, shows up" , "lays oneself open" , "Exposes, removes disguise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
