Degree student - one from part of Indonesia (4)
I believe the answer is:
bali
'part of indonesia' is the definition.
('Bali' is part of 'indonesia')
'degree student one' is the wordplay.
'degree' becomes 'ba' (Bachelor of Arts).
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral**).
'ba'+'l'+'i'='BALI'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bali that I've seen before include "mountainous island" , "Island in Indonesia" , "Javanese island" , "Bail out of the island" , "Middle East country" .)
