Regulation 3 amends the definition of “loan” in regulation 2 of the 2007 Regulations (interpretation) to provide that references to “loan” mean, for a student undertaking a full-time vocational course leading to a Postgraduate Diploma or a Postgraduate masters degree, a loan towards that student’s tuition fees or a loan towards that student’s maintenance. It also substitutes regulation 3(2A) to provide that the age restrictions in paragraph (2)(b) of regulation 3 do not apply when assessing the eligibility of such a student for a loan towards that student’s tuition fees.
