Another good point:
Equivalent or Lower Qualification bar – The government will enable people to retrain in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics by removing the restriction on accessing tuition fee loans for a second degree in these subjects from 2017-18.
However, I'm not sure if this means fully accessing loans i.e. maintenance as-well as tuition fee? Unless this is their idea to allow people to retrain in previously NHS funded areas as-well as many more?
In terms of the Postgraduate Loaning system, they've lowered the age thankfully (under 60's) and decreased the repayment % from 9 to 6, as it is re-payed alongside Undergraduate Degrees.
