Teaching degree presented by setter for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
dogma
'teaching degree' is the definition.
'dogma' can be an answer for 'teaching' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'degree' bit.
'by setter for example' is the wordplay.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'setter' becomes 'dog' (a setter is a type of dog).
'for example' becomes 'ma' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dog' next to 'ma' is 'DOGMA'.
'presented' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dogma that I've seen before include "church teaching" , "Beliefs laid down as incontrovertibly true" , "Doctrine laid down with authority" , "Set of beliefs" , "Some believe it certainly" .)
