(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) (Wales) Regulations 2011 (“the principal Regulations”) prescribe the qualifying courses and qualifying persons for the purposes of section 28 of the Higher Education Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”). A course is a qualifying course for the purposes of section 28 if it is prescribed for that purpose.
The definition of “course” in section 41 of the 2004 Act, as originally enacted, did not include part-time courses. That section was amended by section 77 of the Education Act 2011 to include part-time courses.
These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by excluding part-time courses from being prescribed as qualifying courses for the purposes of section 28 of the 2004 Act.
2004 c. 8. There are amendments to section 28 which are not relevant to these Regulations.
The functions of the National Assembly for Wales were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraphs 30(1) and 30(2)(c) of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
S.I. 2011/691 (W.103), to which there are amendments not relevant to these Regulations.
