This clue might be a double definition.

'level' is the first definition.

(Other definitions for degree that I've seen before include "Extent - academic achievement" , "It's given to college graduates" , "Angular measure" , "Unit of measurement of angles" , "Academic award - stage on a scale" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
