Undergraduate's aim? (6)

I believe the answer is:

degree

(Other definitions for degree that I've seen before include "Further education award - extent" , "Angular unit; grade" , "Bit" , "Award conferred by a college or university" , "Unit of temperature and college award" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
