Ultimately, studying music scores gave UK student a qualification (4)
I believe the answer is:
gcse
'uk student a qualification' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'ultimately studying music scores gave' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letters of 'studying music scores gave' are 'GCSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for gcse that I've seen is " Basic level of a subject taken in British school".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
