Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/1994) (“the principal regulations”). Regulation 4(2) changes “Swiss Agreement” to “Switzerland Agreement”. This is to ensure consistency throughout the principal regulations. Regulation 4(3) inserts three new definitions.

Regulation 5 provides that the new payment rates prescribed in the Schedule to these regulations shall only apply in relation to an academic term which commences on or after the 1 September 2004. Where an academic year starts before 1 September 2004, but ends after 1 September 2004, the old payment rates and the new payment rates shall be applied proportionally.

Regulation 6 specifies changes to the rates of fee awards in relation to courses at the University of Buckingham, the Guildhall School of Music and Heythrop College. Changes in relation to other fees and grants are provided for by regulation 7 and are specified in the Schedule to these Regulations.
